Course Overview

Learn to effectively combat the hazards of contaminated or polluted fluids impacting the quality of potable water. The course is designed for those already involved with the planning, design, installation, maintenance, and inspection of plumbing and piping systems or water-supplied equipment that connects to potable water systems, either inside or outside of buildings. It is 32 hours over four days of theory and practical instruction and qualifies for the Canada Saskatchewan Job Grant. Recertification students only attend the first two days.
