Signed Code of Ethics Now Required to Renew Certificates
Beginning January 2006 all individuals renewing their certificates need to sign the Certification Code of Ethics. The Code will be sent with renewal reminders. See the Code of Ethics page for more information.

Trainer and Upcoming Training Event Lists
CWEA has pre-approved a number of water, wastewater, and safety training organizations. If you receive training from one of these organizations, we will accept the contact hours they issue as long as the training is related to your certification. The same applies to all accredited colleges, universities and vocational schools. The lists also include some upcoming training events. Check the list for your state below.

Training Relevancy Chart
The Training Relevancy chart shows what type of training is acceptable for each CWEA certified vocation. If you are attending a training by a Contact Hour approved training provider, then use this chart to see if it is acceptable for your vocation. This chart is also useful for trainers who need to determine the relevancy of their training.  

In-House Training
You can use the training you get at work to satisfy the continuing education requirement. 

CWEA Conferences
Check the CWEA conference listings for a schedule of upcoming conferences and training events.

Other Training Opportunities
If you are interested in a training event that does not fit one of the above categories,  you can ask the training organization to get their program pre-approved by CWEA. Then you can be certain that we will accept your contact hours. If the training organization cannot or will not seek pre-approval, then you can contact us and we'll do what we can to get it approved anyway. Just send us an email or give us a call. 

General Info About Recertification and Renewals
12 hours of continuing education is required every two years to renew your certificate.
