Certification: Cross Connection Specialist (CCS)
10435 Ashford St., 2nd Floor Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
Professional certification is different than a training or educational program. Training programs offer a
certificate of attendance when an individual completes the coursework, but they do not generally
award a credential or require ongoing recertification. The CCCS certification program was developed
using a nationally recognized process to define the roles and responsibilities for cross-connection
control specialists (Specialist). Individuals who meet the eligibility requirements and pass the exam are
granted use of the CCCS credential.
