PSMA/NOF 102 Advanced Inspection Course - Exton, PA (Jul 28-29)

Which Course is Right For You?

All new inspection trainees must take PSMA/NOF-101. If you are certified but have only limited field experience, and need to brush up on the very basic concepts, PSMA/NOF-101 is the right choice to meet your beginner needs. Because PSMA/NOF-101 is for beginners, trainees are limited to two consecutive attendances.

If you are certified and use or have used the Standards at times in the past, the PSMA/NOF-102 is more appropriate.

102 Advanced Onlot Wastewater Treatment Systems Inspection Certification

This two-day advanced course is available to PSMA/NOF-certified inspectors. It builds upon PSMA/NOF-101 and covers subjects which include inspecting “standard” and “alternate” systems, problem-solving techniques and case studies focusing on standard and difficult systems. Participants should have at least one year’s experience inspecting onlot systems through the application of the PSMA/NOF Inspection Standards. Participants must have completed PSMA/NOF-101.

Please Note: The skills of reading and writing are required prerequisites for training and for all candidates who will take the PSMA/NOF certification exam. PSMA/NOF-certified inspectors must be able to follow written instructions, record field measurements, write answers to questions and draw conclusions. Trainees must be able to complete the training and the exam without reading or writing assistance. Persons with disabilities should notify the PSMA Office in advance of the session, and reasonable accommodations will be made to assist in facilitating your participation.

All trainees should bring materials to take notes. A calculator will be beneficial.  If you have inspection tools such as probe rods, flashlight, mirror, tape measure and gloves, please bring them. Both 101 and 102 include a field trip to nearby onlot systems with hands-on application of inspection skills. The field activity on Day 2 operates rain or shine. Dress appropriately for field conditions; bring a change of shoes.
