Continuing Education Workshops for Certified Operators
Certified solid waste facility operators must attend or participate in at least one continuing education event or activity (typically 2.5 hours or more in length) each year to keep their certification current. Operators must submit written confirmation of attendance with their renewal application. Credit will generally be given for continuing education events or activities that offer information about and increase awareness of environmental, waste management operations, and health or safety issues.

DES is not able to offer as many workshops as in the past. Certified operators are encouraged to fulfill their continuing education training requirement by participating in any of the non-DES sponsored training opportunities listed below or other applicable training.

New training opportunities will be added to this web page as available, so check back often to find new postings.
