Registration will close once all seats are filled. \nClass Enrollment \n\nYou may enroll in only one class.\nAll classes run Monday–Thursday\, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM and take place at the same time in different classrooms.\nA certification class is required if you plan to take the exam on Friday.\n\nClass Purpose: These classes are intended for individuals preparing for their operator certification exam. Classes cover one of the following: \n\nWater: Production\, Treatment\, and Distribution\nWastewater: Treatment and Collection \n\nAttendance for Credit Hours Only \n\nThe registration cost is the same\, even if you attend fewer than four days.\nYou will receive credit only for the class you register for.\nSwitching between classes is not allowed to earn both water and wastewater hours.\n\nPriority Seating:  If you are attending only for credit hours\, you may be removed from the class if space is needed for exam candidates.  Priority is always given to participants taking the certification 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][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1737041661965{background-color: #EFCBCB !important;}” wpex_bg_overlay=”color” wpex_bg_overlay_color=”#eded8ad4″][vc_column]Certification Class Cancellation/Refund Policy[vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]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 2027. 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\, January 29\, 2027Pelican Park/Recreation District #1 of St. Tammany Parish\n63350 Pelican Drive\nMandeville LA 70448[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” font_family=”Georgia\, serif”]\nThe Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) requires pre-approval for all certification exams. Applicants must submit their exam application to the LDH at least 30 days before the exam date. \nFirst-time applicants must apply using the paper application. Existing operators may complete the online form. \nEXAM APPLICATION must be sent to:\nLouisiana Department of Health (LDH)\,  Attn: Certification Office\nMail:  P.O.

You must also register separately with LRWA for the class\, as the exam and class are two different components.
