CSERV Courses
Community Services offerings enable you to improve the quality of your life through lifelong learning. This program of fee-based classes is designed to serve individuals with educational goals that do not require college credit (there are no transcripts or grades). Community Service classes are usually shorter than credit classes, and normally do not require lengthy preparation. Many classes are offered in response to a specific population's expressed interest or need.
As of January 1, 2023
CARB’s Heavy Duty Inspection and Maintenance Regulation took effect. While the regulation will be phased in over the course of 2023, the requirements for Tester certification began on January 1, 2023. All testers who perform emissions testing pursuant to the new regulation must pass CARB’s online HD I/M course and test, available for free on the CARB website. (www.CCDET.org) Because of this, the current version of the CCDET I: PSIP / HDVIP class has been discontinued. But for those who prefer live instruction with a hands-on lab, CCDET is working on an option for you!
CCDET is in the process of revising our CCDET I course to include the new HD I/M information. Once the course is complete, we will submit it to CARB for official approval as an alternate curriculum. We estimate that this process will be completed sometime in March of 2023. The revised CCDET I: HD I/M course will have the added benefit of including hands-on instruction on operating both OBD devices and smoke meters. Because CCDET courses use live instructors and include hands-on labs, there is a registration fee, so CCDET I: HD I/M will not be free.
The CCDET I: Clean Truck Check course includes the environmental and health impacts of particulate matter, emission regulations for all heavy-duty commercial vehicles operated in California, using OBD devices, and hands-on instruction in both conducting emissions test using an OBD device and performing the SAE J1667 Snap-Acceleration Test procedure using a smoke meter.
Description -
This one-day course covers the requirements of the California Air Resources Board’s Clean Truck Check (CTC) regulation, formerly known as Heavy-Duty Inspection and Maintenance (HD I/M). This CCDET I Clean Truck Check course was developed for those who prefer in-person instruction and who would like hands-on instruction in performing the SAE J1667 Snap Acceleration Smoke Test and OBD Testing. This CCDET I in-person version of Clean Truck Check class costs $175 and is administered by the California Council on Diesel Education and Technology (CCDET), not directly by CARB. It is important to note that CARB remains the only credentialing entity for Clean Truck Check. Participants who complete this CCDET I course must still take and pass CARB’s online exam to become Credentialed Testers under the regulation.
