NCDOT Level I/II

NCDOT Level I and Level II training provides the certification required for personnel responsible for erosion and sediment control activities on NCDOT construction projects. Courses cover erosion and sediment control BMPs, permit requirements, and NCDOT-specific responsibilities for installation, inspection, grading, and work near streams and other water resources.

Workshop Details

What You’ll Learn

Review erosion and sediment control best management practices used on NCDOT construction projects
Understand applicable permit requirements and NCDOT specifications
Learn responsibilities for installing, managing, and inspecting erosion and sediment control practices
For Level II, examine erosion and sediment control considerations associated with grading, culvert replacement, and bridge construction over rivers and streams.

Who Should Attend

Level I is designed for crew supervisors who manage, install, and inspect erosion and sediment control practices on NCDOT construction sites.

Level II is intended for personnel who supervise, run, or direct grading work, culvert replacement, and bridge construction over rivers and streams.

The courses are also useful for erosion and sediment control professionals working on non-NCDOT projects, although the certification exam is not required for participants who do not need NCDOT certification.

Workshop Format

Training is available in both traditional classroom and online self-study formats. Classroom courses are offered at the Booth Field Learning Lab in Raleigh. Initial certification and recertification participants attend the same course, and certification holders must recertify every three years.

NCDOT Certification

Successful completion of the course and certification exam leads to NCDOT Level I or Level II Erosion and Sediment Control Certification, depending on the course completed. Certification is intended for personnel performing or supervising erosion and sediment control responsibilities on NCDOT construction projects and must be renewed every three years to remain current.
