Hundreds of engineers, regulators, and affiliated CQA personnel in waste management, mining and other containment sectors have taken TRI Environmental's geosynthetics CQA training courses.

The courses will next be presented April 22 - 26, 2024 in a live, virtual format and half-day morning sessions. The CQA training can be used as preparation for the Geosynthetic Certification Institute–Inspectors Certification Program (GCI-ICP) exams, which will be offered on the afternoon of April 26.

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. Government rates available. NOTE: The GCI-ICP Exam requires an additional registration and fee paid directly to the Geosynthetic Institute (+1 610 522 8440, www.geosynthetic-institute.org).
