The mix of theoretical and real-world learning opportunities will enable students to apply their learning in meaningful and concrete ways. Courses are delivered using a cohort model in a hybrid format primarily in an online format, with some virtual components and work experience placement to water and wastewater facilities. The program is offered as a series of part-time courses.

These include water distribution, water treatment, wastewater collection, and wastewater treatment. The program is designed to meet the educational requirement for an “Operator in Training” and the competencies gained in this program will serve as a foundation for passing the theoretical component for the Environmental Operators Certification Program (EOCP) Level I certification examinations for all four facility/system types. The Associate Certificate in Fundamentals of Water and Wastewater Operations provides the essential knowledge and skills for entry-level positions in the water and wastewater treatment sector.
