We offer two certificate programs for academic credit. Both the Water Treatment Plant Operation Specialist Certificate Program and the Wastewater Treatment Plant Operation Specialist Certificate Program are designed for operators and students interested in earning academic credit from a university that may be transferred to other colleges/universities.
