Monday, 3 April 2023 8:00 AM - Thursday, 6 April 2023 3:30 PM CDT

TRI's geosynthetics CQA courses have provided training to more than 1,000 engineers, regulators, and other containment field personnel over the past 20 years. The Spring 2023 courses will be offered in a live, virtual format April 3 - 6 (Monday - Thursday). The half-day morning sessions can be used as preparation for the Geosynthetic Certification Institute–Inspectors Certification Program (GCI-ICP) exams, which will be offered on April 6 (afternoon). This is essential professional development for new and experienced personnel in waste management, landfill construction, CQA and affiliated sectors requiring geosynthetic containment technologies.

Courses may be taken individually. The GCI-ICP Exam requires an additional registration and fee paid directly to the Geosynthetic Institute (+1 610 522 8440, www.geosynthetic-institute.org).
