The CERCIA Education Center
(CEC) offers U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) on-scene coordinators (OSC),
remedial project managers (RPM), site
assessment managers (SAM), and other
environmental professionals training courses
on the many aspects of Superfund and the
latest environmental technologies. The
courses provide not only basic definitions and
procedures, but detailed presentations on
EPA's role with other federal agencies as well.
As part of its continuing mission to
coordinate and improve EPA's Office of
Solid Waste and Emergency Response
(OSWER) workforce development
programs through training, EPA's
Technology Innovation Office (TIO) has
designed the CEC so that participants can
easily schedule the training that most
applies to their job performance. OSCs,
RPMs, and SAMs take basic Superfund
training through such courses as the
Fundamentals of Superfund or the Removal
Process course. They also may take more
highly technical and targeted training, such
as CEC courses in innovative treatment
and field-based site characterization
technologies.
There is no tuition for CEC courses
and, upon completing the course, each
participant receives a certificate.
Participants also receive reference materials
that they can use later on the job.
This brochure highlights each CEC
course by identifying the benefits and the
intended audience and by providing a
condensed outline of the courses.
