PennDOT - Emissions Inspector Certification

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Enhanced Emissions Inspector Certification class is open to individuals without prior emission certification or technical training. The program includes theory; on board diagnostics II; and two computer-based tests. Successful completion of the program and tests qualifies the individual to inspect and pass/fail a vehicle for emissions certification. Participants must bring their photo identification/driver's license to class. Students do not have to be 18 to enroll in the course; however, they must be at least 18 and have a valid driver's license to become a PA certified enhanced emissions inspector. Plan to arrive at the first class 15 minutes early.

After registering for this class online or in person, students must do the following:

  • Complete this FERPA form and provide a photocopy of your state driver's license. 
  • Email or fax the completed form and copy of your driver's license to Joseph Appiah at jappiah [at] ccp.edu or fax to 215-516-3733. These 2 items are needed in order for you to obtain your training materials/test cycle via www.patrainingportal.com.  
    • If we do not receive your information at least one week before the start of class, you will be dropped and refunded. 
  • IN ADDITION to registering with CCP for this class, PennDot requires that you register online at www.patrainingportal.com and download the training manual. PennDOT charges an additional $39.99 fee which includes the online training manual, testing cycle, certificate, and ID cards.
    • You will be notified by Joseph Appiah via email when you can complete this final step. Then you can access the Pa Training Portal and create your PennDOT account. Typically, 24-48 hours after we receive your FERPA form and copy of driver's license.
