Method 9 Smoke School Training

Our philosophy is simple - we want our students to fully understand the underlying concepts of visible emissions observations. By teaching the concepts, the certification process is made easy, and the observations definitive and defensible.

Knowledgeable, reliable, and accurate visible emissions observers reduce compliance costs, protect the environment, avoid costly fines, and identify operational issues before serious consequences occur.
