Delaware County Community College offers a drinking water certification program that offers all of the coursework and module review necessary to help students pass the licensing exam for Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection certification.
The program is divided into two 90-hour sessions. Successful candidates must enroll for certification level 1 and 2. The DEP-certified program prepares entry-level operators for certification and employment. The minimum education level for operator certification is either a high school diploma or GED.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the median pay for Water Treatment Operators is $44,100 and the field is projected to grow by 6 percent over the next decade.
