Welcome to the AETA 2016 Training Schedule. I hope all of you are well and ready to
take on the new year. Inside this Schedule you will find nearly 340 scheduled classes
to help you meet the state and federal training requirements for your facility.
During the FY 2015 training year, the AETA conducted 329 classes with 5,621 training
hours and 3,511 students statewide. This continues the student enrollment trend of
the past 10 years, where the AETA has experienced a 40% growth in student
enrollment. I attribute this success to the efforts of the AETA staff, SAU Tech
Administration, Arkansas Environmental Training Academy Advisory Board, Arkansas State Legislature,
Arkansas Department of Higher Education, Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality and Arkansas
Department of Health. As the AETA Director, I will continue to work with the SAU Tech Administration, our
State Legislators and regulatory agencies to secure funding for the continued development and delivery of
quality training statewide.
Our Mission… The Arkansas Environmental Training Academy is the designated Environmental Training Center for the
State of Arkansas and is a training division of Southern Arkansas University Tech in Camden, Arkansas. The
AETA has a statewide mission to provide quality training and educational programs to aid the management
and operating staff of municipal, commercial and industrial facilities in meeting state and federal licensing and
certification requirements. Within our resources, the AETA accomplishes its mission through comprehensive
certification and continuing education programs, statewide technical assistance programs, administrative and
student services and professional development for faculty and staff.
The AETA prides itself in not only providing training that helps operators pass their state licensing exams, but
also in helping them become better operators. I invite you to browse through the 2016 Schedule and plan
your training year. If the AETA can be of assistance to your facility, do not hesitate to call on us.
I hope you have a great training year!

AETA Advisory Board News
Hello, I am Jeremy Rowe, Water Program Coordinator for the AETA. I am pleased to offer the following water training schedule for 2016.
AETA’s Adjunct Faculty and I have covered a large portion of the state with Mandatory Training. We’ve tried to offer courses so that with a minimal amount of travel, operators should be able to complete required training within a short time. If we haven’t scheduled courses in your part of the world, call me and I will try to work something out.
The AETA also offers Water classes on-line. We offer all Mandatory Courses except the ADH PWS Compliance quarterly . . . and you don’t even have to leave the house to take those.
Thanks to all of you who make classrooms and tours available at your facilities. I look forward to seeing you out in the state and in class.
