QISM Program Overview

The Qualified Industrial Stormwater Manager (QISM) credentialing program consists of eight (8) online chapters, culminating in an exam where you'll showcase your skills through a submitted action plan and site design assignment to earn your credential.

This program educates individuals to prepare and inspect Industrial Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) in compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. 

As a QISM, you will also receive the education which qualifies you to inspect and maintain industrial sites for stormwater compliance as well as create the Industrial SWPPP. This program covers the principles and practices of industrial stormwater management as well as the proper reporting and documentation requirements for ensuring compliance under the NPDES permit program.
