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 only need certification hours\, the cost remains the same\, and there is no discount for attending fewer than four days. You will receive only the approved hours for the class you registered for and cannot switch between classes to accumulate water and wastewater hours. If you are only attending for hours\, you may be removed from the class if there is a higher demand for individuals needing 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: Publications | La Dept. of Health) \nThe instructor will provide a class manual or handout for review and studying during class. You may bring other study materials or manuals as additional study aids. If you wish to purchase the California Manuals\, you can do so directly through the provided links. \nWater Manuals:  http://www.owp.csus.edu/courses/drinking-water.php \nWastewater Manuals:  http://www.owp.csus.edu/courses/wastewater.php \nStudents are responsible for their meals. \nRemember to make hotel reservations if needed\, as LRWA does not offer discount 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.
