Training

Both the state association and our individual regions provide numerous short schools and residency courses. Check the FWPCOA training schedule to see what courses are coming up. These courses are open to both members and non-members, and most will earn you a voluntary systems operator certification. In addition, plant operators who attend and complete courses can receive CEU credits towards renewing their license.

You can also learn more about CEU requirements, or check your CEU's that are recorded at DEP. The FDEP Operator Certification Handbook can also be downloaded to learn about obtaining a plant operator certification.
