Air Care Inspector
Current Air Care Inspectors
Air Care Inspector Recertification Online Training.
The Vehicle Pollution Management Division (VPMD) is offering a new recertification training platform:
Step 1: Inspector will go to Air Care Inspector Recertification Online Training (on computer, tablet or smartphone) to complete the online application/training module.
Step 2: Once complete with Step 1, Inspector will visit VPMD to perform Overt Audit and complete the recertification process.
A few additional notes about the new system.
- The training is accessible to anyone but must be a currently certified inspector within 60 days of expiration and no more than 90 days passed expiration date for the training to count towards recertification.
- The training is only good for recertification, not Initial Inspector Training.
- At the completion of Step 1, there is a module to schedule an appointment for the Step 2 Visit to VPMD. This is highly recommended and will help ensure that inspectors who schedule an appointment will not have to wait in line when they arrive at VPMD.
- VPMD will also offer computer workstation (at VPMD) that can be used for completing Step 1, for individuals that do not have computer access.
