CWEA Technical Certification
Re-certification Policy and Contact Hours

Beginning July 2002 certificate holders will be required to participate in at least 12 hours of continuing education or training every two years. The policy affects all CWEA certificates and grade levels.

Continuing Education is required to help ensure that individuals certified by CWEA continue to be knowledgeable of technological advancements and regulatory requirements in the wastewater fields. Continuing education enhances the operation, maintenance and management skills of the certificate holders, and ensures the quality of wastewater treatment. This ultimately increases the ability and confidence of certificate holders and the credibility of the wastewater professions certified by CWEA.

All Contact Hours must be pre-approved by CWEA. Until October 2002, we will be accepting training event documentation and making assessments for Contact Hours as we receive them. Usually, you will be notified within two weeks. If you need to have your training event evaluated in less than two weeks let us know and we'll assess your event as soon as possible.
