Training Contact Hours (TCH) Information
Many courses that are provided by NJWEA are certified for both Water and Wastewater licenses. At the Annual Conference and Technology Transfer Seminars many courses are available which are dual purpose.
When reviewing your certificates, the course number will tell you the designation, for example, the course numbered 03-010239-30, the last two digits (30) indicate a dual purpose course water & wastewater (3), that is non-safety (0). The course numbered 03-010245-31 is a dual purpose safety course, where again the number 3 indicates dual purpose, water & wastewater but the course relates to safety (1). The course numbered 03-01 0248-20 is a Wastewater non-safety course (20). Finally, a course with the number 03-010255-10 would be a Water non-safety course.
NJWEA encourages Utility Authorities to submit their in-house training programs for certification evaluation. A nominal fee is charged for record keeping and certificate production.
