Certified Professional Installer in Erosion and Sediment Control
The Certified Professional Installer in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPIESC) certification program establishes a foundational, industry-recognized standard for professionals who install management practices (MPs) for erosion and sediment control. CPIESC is designed to provide entry-level and experienced workers with the essential technical skills to properly install MPs in compliance with environmental regulations and site-specific requirements.
Built on industry recognized guidelines and MPs, the CPIESC ensures proficiency in installing effective erosion and sediment control measures on active construction and land-disturbance sites. The program supports professional growth and workforce programs by opening access to high-demand career opportunities in environmental protection, construction, and stormwater management.
To maintain impartiality and integrity, the CPIESC certification program is governed by a structured set of Bylaws and technical oversight of councils and a certification committee. The program will continue to evolve with industry needs, and input for continuous improvement is encouraged from practitioners, municipal agencies, manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, and industry stakeholders.
