Visible Emissions Training and Certification

in accordance with
40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Reference Method 9
Method 22, 203A, 203B, 203C

Equipment Reliability	You don't wait for field breakdowns or repairs.
Integrated Control Rooms	You don't wait for set-up and equipment problems associated with daily equipment handling. We are the only national company willing to make this investment. Why? Because it makes the equipment reliable.
Automated Record Keeping	You have reference to your certification records via the Internet (no problem finding a card from three years ago in the middle of an audit).
Online Registration	No hassle registration and verification of registration status, easily change people attending due to changing business demands.
Timely re-Cert Notices	You will receive a notification of pending expiration via email (or fax if no email is available) which will provide a link to registration — no retyping just select those who will attend each location.
Instant Documentation	Did we mention you get complete documentation on the day of our training event? All documentation necessary to prove certification is issued in the field.
Constant Equipment R&D	Provides equipment that produces large volumes of air laden with stable smoke, making for a reliable and accurate test eliminating the guesswork of passing. If you never see 100% your vendor can't follow the method.
Don't guess at your smoke school	You can know the answers by learning to properly read emissions. We teach you how.

Compliance Assurance Associates, Inc. provides complete training so that upon completion of the lecture and field training your personnel are ready to read and completely document their readings in a defensible format. Our personnel have the heart of a teacher so that both the lecture and field are conducted in a reliable, effective, and efficient manner. We teach in the field before the tests runs start so that you understand how to do this task and what to do in order to certify. Documentation that you have completed the certification process is provided in the field after a passing score has been verified.

All of the components of our equipment are maintained annually so that the equipment provides stable smoke, reliable and timely operation and we can quickly certify your personnel. We have successfully launched several new developments improving both the air flow, volume of smoke and smoke stability which increased the pass rate to consistently over 50% on the first run. We meet any competitors passing rate, who isn't giving out the answers…..you know who they are.

Most will pass on the first run and at most locations we complete the certification process within 3 runs. If there are shift schedule issues requiring 2 days we will work within our schedule to meet the requirements of those facilities. We complete each test run and the administration of the paperwork promptly in the field ---- usually within one hour for those who pre-registered….that is calibration, practice, test, grade and issue cards in one hour ---- some locations with larger groups the first run may take a bit longer. We have accomplished this by a significant investment in technology to smooth the administration process.

You Can Trust Compliance Assurance Associates, Inc.
Our Smoke Schools have been audited at the Federal Level and many state and local jurisdictions audit and/or participate in our training programs. We have been audited by the State of Texas (one of the few states with an audit program which is legally enforceable) and found to be compliant with all the state and federal requirements. We have been in business for nearly a decade and we are a stable enterprise offering Visible Emissions Training and Certifications over most of the continental U.S.

We take the method seriously and the need for training your personnel completely so you don't have to complete the training process when they go back to the plant.
