Over the past two years, the NSC, working in conjunction with the CUSA Board, has conducted a business analysis of the CUSA Certification. Because of the review, the Council has made a business decision to sunset the CUSA Certification as of July 1, 2009. However, as part of a continuous improvement process, the NSC will examine the feasibility of offering an on-line training program with a certificate of completion for the Utilities safety administrator. This concept will go through a business analysis with NSC sharing the results with the Utilities Division in early spring 2009.
