Training Schedule
Our trainings count towards continuing education requirements for water and wastewater license renewal in Vermont. Attendees will receive a certificate of training credit hours (TCHs) after completing a class. Learn about how our classes work at vtruralwater.org/training/faq
Water Credit Categories
New! Classes that are offered for water credit are now sorted into three categories. Water treatment and distribution operators will need a minimum number of training credit hours (TCHs) in particular categories to renew their certifications starting with 2028-2029 renewals. The category of each class will be listed on the registration page and the certificate of completion. Learn more about water credit categories here.
Renewal Reminder
Class 2 and 4 water treatment certifications will be up for renewal in 2026. The renewal form is due by May 31, 2026. Class 2 operators need 10 training credit hours (TCHs) and Class 4 operators need 20 TCHs.
Important information:
- Renew your certification by completing the new Public Drinking Water System Operator Certification Application nFORM, which can be found here.
- Instructions for the new nFORM can be found here.
- DWGPD is no longer tracking operators’ credit hours. Your operator page on DEC’s website will not show your most recent classes. You will need to upload your training certificates showing you have completed your continuing education requirements.
- You are encouraged to sort your classes into categories if you can. You will not be penalized if you do not meet the minimum number of credit hours in each category for this renewal. Learn more here.
