We help students navigate the complex California storm water regulatory environment. We focus on putting the regulations into practice with real world examples. We serve individuals, contractors, consultants, developers, and municipalities. Below is a list of available classes with a focus on the California Construction General Permit (CGP) as well as an internationally recognized inspector certification. We have an open phone policy for all of our students, future and past. Please reach out anytime should you have any questions regarding storm water training or the CGP.
We offer public virtual classes on a monthly basis as well as private group trainings at your desired location and are available 7 days a week to fit your schedule/needs.

6-Hour Annual Refresher
The 2022 CGP now requires that QSDs and QSPs earn 6 hours of training annually.
