CEU approvals by state
Each state decides which classes earn CEUs for its operators. Choose your state to see which of our online classes are approved for CEUs there.
Train your team at your plant
Besides being plant specific and much more meaningful, in-house classes from Wastewater Solutions, Inc. and Wastewater Academy™ (a WSI offering) bring live trainers to your team and leave you with a deck you can reuse.
Plant specific
Built around your plant, your equipment, your numbers and your problems, so it is much more meaningful than general training.
CEUs available where approved
In-house and online classes can carry CEUs where the class is approved for credit.
Live, great trainers
Live training from experienced, hands-on trainers who know plant operation.
Deck left behind
You keep a plant-specific training deck for future in-house training and for reference.
Online classes carry CEUs only where the class is approved for credit. For in-house training, stay on this site and contact us here, or read about our training on ActivatedSludge.com.
What to expect
Online training is general training for operators. It covers general topics only, so it does not include the plant-specific O&M manual, materials or workbooks. For those, see our on-site, plant-specific training.
You can look over the classes and topics we teach now. Every class and topic stands on its own. To try a few questions, take a free practice quiz.
First online classes, coming soon
Fifteen classes come first, with more to come. Every class is self-paced online, and the length and price are shown on each class page. See the outline of each class below, or see our learning paths for a suggested order.
Need training before it opens?
For now, we arrange live, online and in-house plant-specific training directly with you. Contact us and we will plan it with you.
