OWEA Offers WTA BASIC Course in SW

We are excited to announce that we will have a Wastewater Training Academy (WTA) Basic course in the Cincinnati area starting 1/28.

This Basic course will increase the knowledge base necessary to become skilled operators while also helping individuals prepare for the Wastewater I exam. This course was developed using the Water Environment Federation’s (WEF) Fundamentals I and II textbooks. A curriculum development team of highly qualified wastewater professionals developed a pilot Basic Wastewater Course. Two pilot courses have been completed and feedback from the participants and instructors of the pilot courses have been used to make improvements to the course. This course is the most up to date and student tested course to aid in licensure available in Ohio.
