Anyone interested in gaining knowledge of operation and maintenance of a municipal wastewater collection system including owners, managers, supervisors, chief operators, shift operators, trainees, underground utility construction and maintenance workers.

This course is for informational purposes only. There is currently no State of Florida or Federal requirement to be licensed in wastewater collection systems. Some states may require collection system operator licensing, however Florida does not. 

If you are looking to become a Wastewater operator, you would need to take our Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations Class C&B Training Course, which is approved for the state exam through FDEP.

Please contact our office if you need any clarification.
