COVID-19 Information:


** In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, please see our updated training guidance, "CSTI Update Training Information" below under SAP Documents. Please note, this is intended for Cal OES led SAP training activities. CSTI is part of Cal OES and the SAP program will align with training guidance from CSTI. We understand the difficulties this imposes. We strongly encourage our trainers to align with local, state, and federal public health orders and delay any planned SAP training. **


The Safety Assessment Program (SAP) utilizes volunteers and mutual aid resources to provide professional engineers, architects, and certified building inspectors to assist local governments in safety evaluation of their built environment in the aftermath of a disaster. The program is managed by Cal OES, in cooperation with professional organizations.  Cal OES issues registration ID cards to all SAP Evaluators that have successfully completed the program requirements.

  • SAP Online Evaluator Refresher Training
    **This is our new online refresher training course.  You will need to register with the site prior to taking the refresher training.**

    If your SAP Evaluator card has expired or is about to expire, you can continue your registration in the program by taking this refresher training.  SAP Evaluators can update their contact information there. CEU credits are not available for the online refresher course. 

    Instructions for accessing the SAP Online Evaluator Training.pdf

    Once you complete the exam, nothing more is needed on your part. The LMS system will automatically notify Cal OES, who will verify your certification.  If you hold a current accepted certification, we will mail an updated SAP ID card to the address listed for you in the Cal OES database. 

 

For a schedule of upcoming in-person SAP Evaluator, Coordinator, and Train-the-Trainer classes, please see the Training Events section below.
