While applicable to all treatment facilities, the concepts are geared to new and small-system operators. This course is designed to teach the skills and knowledge that an operator at this level needs to know to perform his or her job. There is an assumption that the persons taking this class have a high school education and can conduct basic math with a calculator. Experience is not required. This program takes into consideration the Association Board of Certification national Need-to-Know criteria for Level 1 water treatment operators, industry practices, and AWWA member criteria.
