Water Management Certificate
Program code: WAMG-CC
Location: Gateway
Program Description
The Water Management Certificate covers the operation of water treatment plants from both ground and surface water sources, as well as the water distribution systems that deliver treated water to residential, commercial, industrial, and government customers. Connecticut continually needs qualified individuals in the water treatment and distribution areas to fill positions in the increasing number of facilities.
Learning Outcomes
Successful completion of the program provides the necessary education requirements to take the CT Department of Public Health’s highest-class water industry license examinations (Class IV Water Treatment and Class III Distribution). If successful, graduates are licensed as Operators-in-Training; OIT licenses become full licenses after work experience requirements are met. CT DPH licenses are recognized by most other states.
