Description

This four-session, 12-hour virtual course is intended for those preparing to take Grades 1 through 4 of the NEWEA Collection Systems Certification exams. Participants will receive instruction on collection system operation and maintenance (O&M), including but not limited to the purpose of wastewater collection, wastewater flow characteristics, collection system components; pump stations, system maintenance and inspection; pipeline rehabilitation, and collection system safety. The course will also review math concepts and provide example problems for exam preparation, so bring a BASIC CALCULATOR to use during class.

Important note: Certification exams are now administered only by NEWEA. Those seeking to take the exam must apply and test directly through NEWEA. Please visit NEWEA’s website for more information or to apply to take an exam: https://www.newea.org/careers/certification/collection-systems-certification-program/

NEIWPCC highly recommends those planning to take the exam apply with NEWEA approximately 45 days prior to attending our exam prep course.
