On-Demand | No Travel Required | Digital Certifications | Expiration Reminders
This course is a modified WA CESCL that includes all of the WA criteria, but offers a section dedicated to the 1200C/1200CN/1200CA permit requirements. This certification program provides background of stormwater regulations, an overview of Oregon state specific permit requirements (1200C and 1200CN), identifies tasks of being an inspector, and goes through an extensive list of different BMPs available in the market.
BMP discussion includes implementation and installation considerations, and often are communicated by industry professionals in the field.
Resources such as inspection forms, logs and references to permit requirements are all available within the course.
Expectations for this Course:
This on-demand course is 16 hours long. Your 5 Consecutive Days to complete (including Holidays and Weekends) begins the moment a Learner is registered for this course. This course will NOT take the full 5 days, but this amount of time provides the Learner the ability to go at their own pace. In a traditional in-person version of this course, learning takes place during two 8-hour days, beginning in a classroom and ending on a field site. We eliminated those requirements and by taking the course on-demand, Learners have 3 additional days to complete it.
We do understand that sometimes you can't start a course right away, and that's okay! We suggest holding off registering for this course until you are ready to get started so that you have as much of the full 5 consecutive days as possible to complete it.

Permit Language or Requirements
This CESCL certification course is recognized as meeting the training and certification requirements of Washington State Department of Ecology's Construction Stormwater General Permit (BMP C160) and the Oregon 1200C/1200CN/1200CA requirements for the Erosion and Sediment Control Inspector (ESCI).
However, CWT Training Academy has created an Oregon specific course that includes all of the Washington information but has an additional section specific to 1200C and 1200CN requirements and recommends that those who have projects primarily in Oregon take the Oregon course.
Additionally, a CESCL certification can meet the requirements of the Oregon Department of Transportation for an Erosion and Sediment Control Manager (ESCM) after completing the ODOT exam. However, this CESCL program does not have reciprocity with the Alaska CESCL program.
What's in it for You?
- Keep your CESCL certification active
- Go more in depth on project risk and cost considerations
- Learn about the tools and techniques to prevent erosion and reduce dirty water running off the project site
- Grow your career
