Operator School

NEW OPERATOR SCHOOL SCHEDULES!

Many years ago, IDEM offered a written test at the beginning of November and in May only, so Operator School had to end by the fall exam.  Then, several years ago IVY Tech agreed with IDEM to proctor the Operator Exams and make them available throughout the year, and very few have taken the written test with IDEM in the fall for several years.  As a result, the exact timing of Operator School became less critical; however, the schedule did not change.  The committee has decided to allow the instructors flexibility in the scheduling of the classes, so there are a few changes.

The 12 weeks of classes will begin at different times for each location.   We are looking for additional instructors and locations, so if anyone has an interest, please contact me ASAP.

Information about the One AWWA Operator Scholarship for these Operator School opportunities is posted below.  Do not forget to apply.

Please let me know if you have any questions at cjohnsen@mcwaterdept.com .
