Yes, you need to be first of all a licensed installer, then secondly a licensed inspector. Some county's also have additional requirements.

1st contact the MO Dept of Health and Senior Services. www.dhss.mo.gov/Onsite/index.html Search for OWTS (On-Site Water Treatment Systems)

2nd contact Greene County Resources Mgmt. Dept. Tell them what you are doing, and ask them if there is anything you need to know. 417-868-4147

3rd contact Springfield-Greene County Public Health Center Tell them what you are doing, and ask them if there is anything you need to know. 417-864-1657

4th Send me 1% of your first years septic evaluation gross for information rendered.

Eric,
Yes, Missouri requires certification.
Go to (www.DHSS.Mo.Gov) Information is on that site.
You have to pass a installers course (Septic Installation) First,
Then, take an inspection course. Ones in Jeff City and the others in Columbia.
The Inspectors course is given twice a year. I don't think you can make the May
Class because the installers course is one day away.
The next inspection course they told me would be in Sept. or Oct.
Cost for both courses and fees ($710.00)
Good Luck
