PACP | LACP | MACP
NASSCO’s Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP™), Lateral Assessment Certification Program (LACP™) and Manhole Assessment Certification Program (MACP™) are the trusted sources for proper and consistent assessment condition coding of pipelines, laterals and manholes.

HOW LONG IS CERTIFICATION VALID?
Certification is valid for 3 years from the date of issuance. All certifications, PACP | LACP | MACP, follow the expiration date of PACP regardless of when they were obtained. In order to maintain certification, all certified individuals are required to recertify prior to their expiration date.
CAN I ADD LACP AND MACP TO MY CERTIFICATION AT A LATER DATE?
We highly encourage you to become certified in PACP | LACP | MACP from the start. If you decide not to do that, you may add it by taking a recertification course that includes LACP | MACP at any time or wait until you are due for recertification.

Virtual Classroom Training is live trainer-led, online instruction.
Both use the same syllabus which ensures all students get the required information to become certified.
