Education & PW Specialist Certification

Education is the key to unlocking the next levels
The Arizona Chapter of the Maintenance Superintendents Association is dedicated to the continuous education and professional growth of its members. We deliver a robust lineup of training—from best-practice workshops to vendor‑led sessions on the latest product lines—ensuring our members stay ahead in the rapidly evolving world of public works. Additionally, we administer the nationally recognized Public Works Specialist Certification through MSA: participants complete 12 online courses (or 6 for the technician level), including a mandatory “Introduction to Public Works” class, to earn their certificate.
