ARCSA’s “Accredited Professional” (AP) Program is designed torecognize professionals in the industry who have achieved an advanced level of competence in designing and installing rainwater harvesting systems. Individuals who do not have the experience required to be an “Accredited Professional” will be assigned the title “Accredited Associate” until they submit information on five (5) systems they have designed and/or installed before being upgraded to “ACCREDITED Professional”.  Of these five systems, one may be a rainbarrel, one may be a passive  system, one must have a pumping system.  The last three systems must meet ARCSA/ASPE 63 guidelines for rainwater catchment systems.  A form of this document is the basis for the UPC code.  ARCSA’s Accredited Professional Workshop is open to the public and any industry professional pursuing greater understanding of rainwater harvesting. The workshop is required for those seeking ARCSA AP designation.
