Since 2017, Continuing
Professional
Education
Services, LLC (CPES) has
offered continuing education
courses for professional
credits to LSRPs,
Professional Engineers,
Professional Geologists,
attorneys, health officers/REHS, water and waste
water operators, flood plain managers, landscape
architects and other environmental professionals
licensed and/or certified in New Jersey and beyond.
When COVID‐19 stay-at-home orders shut
down the CPES University training locations
The online courses are as
effective as a training method
as the in-person courses . . .
at Montclair State University in Montclair, the
Rutgers Eco Complex in Bordentown and Rider
University in Lawrenceville, CPES quickly shifted
from classroom training to virtual training.
CPES founders Dr. Jorge Berkowitz and
I, along with Director Julianne Mosolgo responded
by working with instructors to offer
our first, live online course on April 17th, a
twoß-part course on “Investigating and Remediating
Chlorinated Solvent Contaminated
Sites” and we have followed that success by
offering another six courses—with six other
courses scheduled this summer, including
“Regulatory Training in Underground Storage
Tanks: NJDEP Approved Training” on
August 19th.
Using Zoom and other virtual services, CPES
has transitioned from interactive classroom
instruction to in-home online training, while
confirming attendance, participation and maintaining
the high-caliber courses our attendees
expect from CPES. An attendee recently said,
“The online courses are as effective as a training
method as the in-person courses and save a
lot of time because you don’t have to travel to
course locations.”
With the unknowns of COVID‐19, CPES
will only offer live, online courses until at least
2021, and is receiving the approved credits for
all courses. For more information and to review
