Septic design training / education
(OP)
Does anyone know of college or universities that offer courses in on-site septic system design?
I'm considering this for a potential use of my professional engineering license for residential customers. There's demand in my area for this type of work, but I'd like to take some education to gain skills in this area.
I'm intending this post for people who know the answer to my question. Ethics and liability of using the engineering stamp have been thoroughly discussed in other threads, so let's try to keep this one on track.

If you get into pre-treatment or chamber systems you can ask the health inspector which manufactuers are selling in the area and you can get in touch with their reps and they will often train you in regards to their products.
Good Luck.

Here, they require either a professional engineer or a licensed septic designer design all the systems. I paid $3000 to have someone design mine and boy, it was a thick and complicated package.
Don't think it's real good to get into right now but the rules are complicated in my county and there is demand for more people to design systems. Many designers won't touch my county because of the complicated rules and regulations.
