The Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts (PACD) and the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers are co-hosting a virtual Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) Review Course!

The CPESC certification is a professional designation for erosion and sedimentation technicians, engineers, and other specialists involved in design, construction, inspection or other aspects of erosion and sedimentation control.

**Please Note: There are multiple steps to becoming CPESC certified**  This is a review course to be taken before the exam.

• The review course cost does not include the costs of certification application and exams.
• If you have not yet started the CPESC application process, visit the Envirocert International, Inc. website and review the requirements and process now. Please see the attached document for certification instructions.

Instructions to apply for CPESC certification can be found at https://envirocert.org/wp-content/uploads/How-To-Apply-2025.pdf and certification requirements can be found here https://envirocert.org/cpesc/cpesc-requirements-fees-processes/ .

The review course will ensure CPESC applicants understand which concepts will be covered by the exam and acts as a review for most of those concepts. Applicants for the exam should have a sufficient combination of education and experience to be able to independently study the materials identified in the Review Manual.
