Review Course for theMichigan Class B and A Wastewater

Operator Certification Exams This course is intended to assist persons in preparing to take the Michigan Class B and A Wastewater Operator Certification exams. Participants will receive a study guide that provides an overview of the major treatment processes and related operational, laboratory, and management principles and procedures. However, due to the amount of information and limited class time, the in-class presen-tation will focus on key process controls and formulas, and solving sample problems. As such, participants should bring a calculator to class and should have an advanced knowledge of wastewater treatment methods and equipment prior to taking the course.
