The Bureau of Environmental and Coastal Quality (BECQ), Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Safe Drinking Water Program hosted a Water Operator Certification Exam Preparation class specifically for water operators focusing on Water Operator Math for the Water Treatment / Distribution Grade 1 - 3 certification exams.  This class took place during the first two weeks of December 2025, for three hours a day (8;30 – 11;30 am) five days a week, for a total of 30 hours of instruction.  This class was FREE.  The class was offered live (for those on Saipan) and virtually, (for those not able to attend the live class).  The class was open to anyone working in the drinking water industry (public or private) or anyone wishing to become certified as a water treatment plant operator.  Participants earned up to 30 hours (depending on their attendance) of continuing education towards maintaining their existing certifications.

Materials: formula sheets and notebooks were provided to those attending the live sessions.

Additional on-line resources were also provided including a Google Classroom site, where pdfs of all PowerPoints were linked, as well as links to all AWWA videos and YouTube videos viewed during class.
