1. Successfully complete the FDOE Environmental Water Technology program of study
2. Pass the FDEP level C treatment plant operator certification exam
3. Graduate from High School
4. Acquire 150 hours of experience shadowing a treatment plant operator
5. Achieve a list of required skills, to be determined by the FW&PCOA

To be included on the “Comprehensive Industry Certification List” maintained by Workforce Florida, Inc., the FW&PCOA must submit the names of water utility industry employers in Florida who will recognize the Industry Certification.

This is where you can help! Please complete the Industry Certification Survey, link provided below, and email the completed survey to Executive Director Tim McVeigh at Exec-Director@fwpcoa.org.
