On-Demand | No Travel Required | Digital Certifications | Expiration Reminders
This Idaho Construction Stormwater Inspector (ICSI) certification meets the criteria of the IDR100000 permit requirements for a certified inspector. This course provides background of stormwater regulations, an overview of Idaho state specific permit requirements, 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 and the Community Resource Library.
Expectations for this Course:
This on-demand course is 14 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.
