Career Details

Cross Connection Specialist

Description

Professional certification is different than a training or educational program. Training programs offer a certificate of attendance when an individual completes the coursework, but they do not generally award a credential or require ongoing recertification. The CCCS certification program was developed using a nationally recognized process to define the roles and responsibilities for cross-connection control specialists (Specialist). Individuals who meet the eligibility requirements and pass the exam are granted use of the CCCS credential.
