Training & Recertification

Inspector Training

NASSCO’s Inspector Training and Certification Program (ITCP) is a new standard national training and certification program that provides field construction professionals (i.e., consulting and municipal engineers, contractors) with comprehensive learning and tools to understand and inspect trenchless pipeline renewal technology.

Attendees who successfully complete the training will receive 1.35 Continuing Education Units and a certificate. They will also get a copy of the Trenchless Assessment Guide for Rehabilitation (TAG-R), an interactive software program that will allow the engineer and inspector to select applicable technologies for different project conditions.

The cost for the two-day program and certification is $995 for NASSCO Members and $1095 for Non-Members. *Note that if you are a not currently a NASSCO member but join within one year of taking the course, your membership will be discounted by $100 (one per organization).

The course consists of two-days of classroom learning in the following areas:

Existing Pipe Defects and How They Affect Installations.
Overview of the Technology.
Field Installation.
Writing and Understanding Performance Specifications.
Pipeline Renewal Technologies and Their Applications, Including a Review of the Trenchless Assessment Guide for Rehabilitation (TAG-R).

Testimonials

"Thank you again for the great learning experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and especially the real life examples you provided. I have a greater understanding of the industry and look forward to applying this in my job."
-Kathy Lewin, C.E.T.; Town of Beaumont

"Initially I was skeptical of the value of the ITCP for contractors. However, I found the course to be full of practical explanations and solutions to real world CIPP lining issues. It is an exceptional teaching tool that will ultimately improve the quality of lining installations throughout our country."
-John Nelson; Visu-Sewer

"This one of the best training classes I've been to in a long time. Lots of practical hands-on knowledge that can be immediately used in the field."
-Paul Mochel, PE, CCM; Valley Construction Management

"The course is very thorough. You won't leave the course being less than 100% prepared for field inspections. The first field inspection I went to, I walked onto the job like I had been doing this for years!"
-Russell Mathews; William T. Harris Enterprises

"Since I completed the training, I've invited all of Dudek's construction monitors to take the course and I have strongly recommended that our clients take the course. For us, we've benefited in many ways including reduced risk of claims. NASSCO certifications also give us additional credibility and increase billable rate for our staff."
-Steve Jepsen; Dudek
