Pennsylvania Emissions Inspector Certification (EEIC) (PDS 7009)
This 16-hour course focuses on the rules, regulations and proper techniques to perform the state required PA Enhanced Emissions Inspections mandated by the federal Environmental Protection
| CRN 651 | TR | 6/02-6/11 | 6:00-10:00 pm | MRC |
| CRN 493 | TR | 7/14-7/24 | 6:00-10:00 pm | MRC |

EEIC Recertification (PDS 7011)
All EEIC-certified mechanics are required to recertify every two years. PennDOT recommends taking the recertification course two months prior to the expiration date of their current certification. The recertification runs from the EEIC expiration date, not the date of the recertification course. Those failing the retest must retake the 16-hour Section 1 EEIC course.
NOTE: Students must register through the Malin Road Center. At that time all course material will be issued to the student. You must bring this material to class since no course material will be distributed in class. Students must register a minimum of seven days prior to the date of the
class. Only advance registrations will be accepted. (4 hrs.)
Prerequisite: Current EEIC certification and valid driver’s license.
Cost includes all fees and materials.

Pennsylvania State Safety Inspection Certification
DCCC is authorized by PennDOT to administer an approved course of instruction to prepare, test, and certify automotive technicians for the Pennsylvania State Inspection Program.
NOTE: Category 1, which must be completed by all applicants, covers cars and
light trucks. The optional motorcycle and heavy truck categories are also
available for an additional fee and may be taken concurrently with the basic
course, or at a later date following completion of the basic course. If you
wish to take any of these categories in combination, you must use a separate
course reference number (CRN) for each when registering.
