North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality - Trainings and Exams
Objective: These classes will fulfill the continuing education credit (CEC) requirement for certified
operators. Attendees will
receive 12 CECs for each session attended. Roll will be taken during the sessions to verify attendance.
Expect to hear
presentations regarding regulations and how to avoid mistakes that can lead to non-compliance for your
facility. This will
include general operation and maintenance topics. The courses, however, are not geared specifically to
prepare
operators for certification exams.
