The training program consists of a two day course. The first day is in a classroom setting. There the instructors follow a manual that is given to all participants. The topics they discuss include gathering records and data, plan reading, evaluation methodology, septic tanks and treatment tanks, and results of evaluation and interpreting your observations. In addition, the manual serves as a reference with such items as a glossary of terms, a conversion chart and the N.H. Department of Environmental Services septic system design rules.
The second day is a field session where the participants go to one or more sites and view the aging process of a septic system. They break into small groups to evaluate and discuss the various components to the systems. After the completion of the two day course, participants are given a test. Those who obtain a score of 80 or greater, qualify for the Certified Septic System Evaluator designation.
