ON-LINE ESC INSPECTOR RE-CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
HOME PAGE


Welcome, ESC Inspector, to the Department of Conservation and Recreation's On-Line Re-Certification Program for Inspectors in the third year of their certification.

Re-certification via the internet is an alternative approach to re-certification. Instead of enrolling in conventional classroom courses in Basic and Inspector ESC Training (or sitting for one of DCR's bi-annual statewide examinations), Inspectors within the last 12 months of their current certification now may re-certify by passing an On-line exam.

On-line Inspector Re-certification is a 5-Step program:

 
Step 1:       The Inspector establishes his/her eligibility for the program and receives a Personal Identification Number (PIN) needed for STEPS 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Step 2: The Inspector downloads testing materials required for the exam
Step 3: The Inspector enters the Testing Zone, makes a $90 credit card payment (Visa, MasterCard, Amex), verifies his/her personal information, then obtains a 70 Question Exam (multiple choice, open-book, no time limit, 70% or greater passing grade) that is computer-scored when completed. Successful candidates are provided a new certificate for printing. A calculator is required.
Step 4: List of Inspectors eligible for, or re-certified by, the On-line Program.
Step 5: The Inspector, pending successful re-certification, prints updated certificate. DCR will not be mailing updated Inspector re-certification certificates.
