100060 - Water Treatment Plant Operators Short School

Overview

Purpose
One of the goals of the program is to bring more people to the field of plant operations. Another very important goal is to enhance the understanding, awareness and abilities of practicing operators and those who aspire to become operators. During this program, the operator is exposed to the basic information which s/he must know in order to become licensed and advance through the various levels of licensure. No attempt is made to structure the short school as a direct prep school for licensure, although the benefits to those taking licensure examinations are evident.

Continuing Education Units
Participants who attend all sessions and pass the Short School exam will be eligible for 3.3 Continuing education units. Participants that attend all sessions and do not pass the Short School exam will receive 33 contact hours. Participants that attend all sessions and take the licensure testing will receive 33 contact hours.

LICENSURE TESTING
Please note: The DPOR exam will not be offered this year. Please visit the DPOR site at https://www.dpor.virginia.gov/Boards/WWWOOSSP for more information regarding virtual or in-person proctored testing.
