Walter

Workshops every year.
He is considered the "Grandfather of Stack Sampling".
2) PREPARATION FOR THE SES QUALIFIED SOURCE TESTING
INDIVIDUAL (QSTI) EXAM WORKSHOP
Overview
Walter
S. Smith, the co-author of EPA Reference Methods 1-8, will
lead the instruction of this hands-on workshop. The object
of this 5-day seminar is to prepare the student for the
Source Evaluation Society's Qualified Source Testing Individual
(QSTI) Exam I through and IV. This workshop is very intense.
The workshop concentrates on the written method details
but not necessarily the "why" they are written
that way (although some of the "why" will be discussed).
The purpose of the SES Exams is to find out if you know
the methods in details. The workshop will center on how
to find the answers in the CFR (and in the process, hopefully,
you will learn the details). The QSTI Exams are open book
with some tricky questions, so the details are important.
The workshop devotes about 1/4 of the time on each exam.
If you are interested in becoming a QSTI from SES, you must,
at least, pass the exam for the group of methods that you
oversee on site.
See Course Agenda
The prerequisite for this Workshop is to have read all the
EPA methods of the group of interest in the CFR. No manual
is given for this workshop since the CFR is your manual.
However, a comprehensive methods book will be given to the
students that include the methods in the four groups however,
you may bring your own Parts 51 Appendix M, 60 Appendix
A, B & F, 61 Appendix B, and Part 75 Appendix A (and
the ASTM D6784-02 if taking Exam 4), page tabs and a two
colors of Highlighter. Note: the methods book will not include
ASTM D6784-02.) If you are going to take the exams (that
are given at the end of the workshop), and have read the
methods in the CFR thoroughly, this workshop will improve
your score. The pass fail rate without the workshop is about
50%.
At the completion of the workshop, Exams I, II, III and
IV of the Source Evaluation Society's Qualified Source Testing
Individual Exams will be administrated by ETA.
