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.

The goal of these programs is to help pipeline system owners create comprehensive databases to properly identify, plan, prioritize, manage and renovate their assets based on condition evaluation.

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.

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.

Traditional Classroom Training is trainer-led, in-person instruction.

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.
