CONTINUING EDUCATION

Continuing Professional Education

Continuing education is essential to the onsite wastewater industry. For those holding onsite sewage professional licenses from the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, continuing education is a requirement (18VAC160-40-330). Participating in continuing education opportunities helps professionals stay current on the latest technologies, skills, and regulations. Attending training and continuing education events are also a great way to expand your professional network and marketability.
