NAWT Training Sessions

Whether you are an experienced industry professional or just starting out in the business, you will find a great deal of value in the National Association of Wastewater Transporters, Inc. introduction and inspections training courses. Your successful completion of the training will allow you to be recognized as a national certified inspector by NAWT, and you will be listed on a national registry of certified industry professionals for two years.

Certified Inspectors must complete a comprehensive onsite sewage treatment systems course covering terminology, treatment, tanks, construction methods, and application, or demonstrate competence in the field prior to qualifying for the inspector training program. Participants then must complete the inspection course and pass a rigorous exam to receive national certification. There are only a selected number of professionals throughout the United States and Canada who have successfully completed both courses.

The certification is good for two years.
