Certified Vertical Closed Loop Driller Designation Gives You Edge in Geothermal Market Advances in ground source heat pump technology have emphasized the need for a voluntary certification designation for ground source heat pump drillers. That's why NGWA is proud to offer its Certified Vertical Closed Loop Driller (CVCLD) designation. This designation reflects an individual who has proven knowledge, skills, and experience in the construction of a closed loop well system for ground source heat pump appli- cations. Exams for the CVCLD designation can be scheduled by calling PSI Services at (800) 733-9267 or online at www. psiexams.com. The 75-question exam encompasses the skills and competencies reflected on the Geothermal Vertical Closed Loop Drilling Operations DACUM. Any questions regarding the certification may be directed to the NGWA Industry Practices Administrator via email at certifi- cation@ngwa.org, or call (800) 551-7379, option 3.
