The FDEP Florida Stormwater Erosion and Sedimentation Control Inspector (FSESCI) course provides participants with the knowledge necessary to understand, implement, inspect, and maintain erosion and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs) associated with construction activities.
This 16-hour instructor-led course prepares professionals responsible for stormwater compliance activities, including individuals who install BMPs, inspect construction sites, oversee contractors, and support compliance with Florida stormwater regulations.
The FSESCI certification supports requirements associated with the FDEP Construction Generic Permit (CGP) for construction activities that disturb one or more acres of land and provides valuable knowledge for professionals working in construction, public works, utilities, engineering, and stormwater management.
Participants who successfully complete the course and pass the required examination receive an official FDEP FSESCI Certificate.
Tampa Bay Training provides FSESCI training through private onsite training, private live online training, open-enrollment onsite classes, and open-enrollment live online classes throughout Florida.
