LRWA will not reserve seats without payment. Registration will close once the seating limit is reached. \nYou may only enroll in one class at a time\, as they are held in different classrooms simultaneously from Monday to Thursday\, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. A certification class is REQUIRED to take the exam on Friday. \nThese training courses are designed for individuals who need to take their operator certification exam to become certified. The classes review either Water (Production\, Treatment\, and Distribution) or Wastewater (Treatment and Collection). \nIf you are attending solely to obtain certification hours\, the registration cost remains the same\, with no discount for attending fewer than four days. Participants will receive only the approved hours for the specific class for which they are registered and may not switch between classes to accumulate both water and wastewater hours. \nPlease note that if you are attending for credit hours only\, you may be removed from the class if demand increases for individuals who need to take the operator certification exam. Priority seating will be given to those taking the exam. \nYou can find the Water & Wastewater Need-to-Know information in the Publications section of the Louisiana Department of Health website (Link: https://ldh.la.gov/page/416) \nThe instructor will provide a class manual or handout for review and study during the class. Participants may also bring additional study materials or manuals for reference. \nIf you wish to purchase the California Manuals\, you may do so directly through the provided links below: \nWater Manuals: https://www.owp.csus.edu/operator-training/courses/correspondence-courses/drinking-water-courses/ \nWastewater Manuals: https://www.owp.csus.edu/operator-training/courses/correspondence-courses/wastewater-courses/ \nStudents are responsible for their meals. \nPlease remember to make your hotel reservations\, if needed\, as LRWA does not offer discounted room rates.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]**40 Hours of Instruction: **[vc_column_text css=””]This requirement is specifically for individuals who have been instructed by the LDH Certification Department to complete 40 hours of training due to unsuccessful attempts at passing the exam. It does not apply to those seeking extra credit hours or new employees taking the exam. \nBefore registering\, please contact the LDH Certification Department at 225-342-7508 to confirm whether you are required to complete these 40 hours. Please note that LRWA will not reimburse you for the 40 hours if you later find that they are not necessary.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” wpex_bg_overlay=”color” css=”.vc_custom_1737041661965{background-color: #EFCBCB !important;}” wpex_bg_overlay_color=”#eded8ad4″][vc_column]Certification Class Cancellation/Refund Policy[vc_column_text css=””]A $100 processing fee applies to all cancellations. Instead of canceling\, you may consider sending a substitute or transferring to the next LRWA certification class in 2026. If you choose to transfer to certification during the Annual Conference (July) or Mini Conference (October)\, please note that the price will increase\, and you will be responsible for paying the difference. \nNo refunds will be issued for cancellations made within one week of the class.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space]Please note: LRWA Training Sessions are a "Fire Arm Free Zone"[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column]EXAM Application Instructions/Information[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]Friday\, April 17\, 2026Brown Park Community Center\n1234 East Pont Des Mouton Rd\nLafayette\, LA 70507[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” font_family=”Georgia\, serif”]\nThe Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) requires pre-approval for all certification exams.

LRWA will not reserve seats without payment.

A certification class is REQUIRED to take the exam on Friday. \nThese training courses are designed for individuals who need to take their operator certification exam to become certified. The classes review either Water (Production\, Treatment\, and Distribution) or Wastewater (Treatment and Collection). \nIf you are attending solely to obtain certification hours\, the registration cost remains the same\, with no discount for attending fewer than four days. Participants will receive only the approved hours for the specific class for which they are registered and may not switch between classes to accumulate both water and wastewater hours. \nPlease note that if you are attending for credit hours only\, you may be removed from the class if demand increases for individuals who need to take the operator certification exam. Priority seating will be given to those taking the exam. \nYou can find the Water & Wastewater Need-to-Know information in the Publications section of the Louisiana Department of Health website (Link: https://ldh.la.gov/page/416) \nThe instructor will provide a class manual or handout for review and study during the class.

Please note that LRWA will not reimburse you for the 40 hours if you later find that they are not necessary.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” wpex_bg_color=”#c3eaf8″][vc_column]Hotel Room Reservations[vc_column_text css=”” font_family=”Georgia\, serif”]The Hotel Bentley is offering a discounted room block rate of $112 per night\, plus tax. \nTo reserve a room by phone\, please call 318-442-2226 and speak directly with the front desk.
