QSP / QSD Qualification

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Construction General Permit Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP) and/or Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD).
QSP and QSD qualifications are good for two years, after which you must renew your qualification. Your name, QSP or QSD certificate number and expiration date, and underlying registration/certification type and number will be posted for public reference on the  QSD and QSP Lookup Tool. You can choose to make your contact information available as well. You are responsible for keeping your contact information current. If you change jobs, move to a new address, or change your email address, be sure to update your listing.

Steps To Qualification (must complete in order) 

Important note: 

If the steps are not completed in order, the individual will not receive credit for the step. Example: If an individual takes Step 4 first, the individual will not receive credit for Step 4 and will have to re-take the one-day, in-person training after completing Step 3.  

1. Take a QSP / QSD training course.

To become a qualified QSP and/or QSD, you must take a training course offered by a qualified California Construction General Permit Trainer of Record (CGP-ToR). Your Trainer of Record will create an Office of Water Program's (OWP) online account for you when you have completed training.
