This course is offered in conjunction with the Board for the purposes of preparing
for the Grade 1 exam only; however those prepping for the Grade 2 exam will find
this course beneficial as well. It is intended for those seeking to review material
and will cover a wide range of wastewater topics including:

• Preliminary, Primary, and Secondary Treatment
• Disinfection and Solids Handling
• Sample collection, laboratory testing, safety, and maintenance
• Wastewater math

Because the Rhode Island Board of Certification of Operators of Wastewater Treatment Facilities only offers licensure to approved applicants, passing this course is not necessarily a guarantee of securing the Rhode Island Grade 1 license.

This review course is based on the well known CSU Sacramento home-study course manuals for WWTP operations. Purchasing the Sacramento manual is recommended, but not required.
