The development of the Online Water Conservation Certificate Program is well underway. For those qualified individuals who want to get a jumpstart to this certificate program we are offering an opportunity to ‘test’ out of the overview course. 

The forty question online exam must be passed with a minimum of 80%. The exam covers these topics;

• General Issues in Water Conservation
• Outdoor Conservation
