Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) Training

Overview

This course satisfies the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Construction General Permit (CGP) training requirement for individuals seeking qualification as a Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD). The training is delivered by a CASQA-approved Trainer of Record (ToR) and is structured as a one-day advanced add-on for candidates who have already completed QSP training or hold existing QSP qualification.

QSD-specific modules address the higher-level competencies required to design and develop Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs): project planning, site assessment, permit documentation, hydraulic considerations, and project closeout. The course prepares candidates to sit for the CASQA QSD examination. Passing the QSD exam automatically satisfies QSP qualification requirements.

Prerequisite Requirements
Important: A separate SWRCB-approved QSD prerequisite credential is required before CASQA will issue a QSD certificate. StormwaterONE does not currently offer an approved QSD prerequisite program. Candidates must verify they hold a qualifying QSD prerequisite credential before enrolling. A complete list of approved QSD prerequisites is maintained on the State Water Board's Construction Stormwater General Permit webpage.

The StormwaterONE program is excellent! Training is provided in multiple ways to ensure all learning styles are accommodated. The content is relevant and of high quality. Delivery of content is nothing short of superior irrespective of being self-paced training or delivered by one of the many experienced instructors. I have personally taken, and will recommend, training from StormwaterONE to become educated in the trade. You will become skilled in the requirements of Stormwater management.
