Course Details
Course Name: Safe Drinking Water Act Regulatory Update
Course Code: EO0220WA22
Date of Most Recent Offering: May 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2022
Course Overview
The 2022 Safe Drinking Water Act Regulatory Update course will be held online and offer four (4) half-day sessions, designed to give you regulatory and operational information on specific topics. Register for all four sessions, a single session of interest, or any combination in between. Each session will offer 2.5 Training Contact Hours (TCHs) for New Jersey T, W, and VSWS license holders. Credits are also available for New Jersey Professional Engineers, Health Officers/REHS, and Certified Public Works Managers.
New for 2022! In a change this year, municipalities, utilities, consulting/engineering firms, or other organizations will have the option to “host” a group of attendees at their facility. As in the past, individuals would register on their own; the organization hosting the group will need to appoint a “proctor” for the group who will verify/certify the attendance status of the individuals who participated at their location. Group members will still need to submit ID, course evaluations, credit surveys, and such on their own at the completion of each session in order to receive credit.
New to online learning? No worries! We are here to help every step of the way, with test/dry run sessions before the class date so you can be sure your “tech” works and you are able to connect. Please note that a unique email address is required for each registrant in order to access the course.
