Workforce training

Basic Operations for Wastewater Treatment Plants

Sept. 10 to Nov. 21 (No class Oct. 8 or 10)

Tuesdays & Thursdays | 6 to 9 p.m. 

Queensbury campus & Glens Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant 

 

Participants in this 20-session course will experience a broad introduction and overview of wastewater treatment operations, excluding activated sludge (a separate course typically offered in the spring semester). Successful completion of a training course and course exam is required as part of the qualification process to take the New York state certification examinations. This is not intended to be an exam review course, and completing it cannot ensure successful completion of the certification exams. The course outline will follow the New York state DEC’s “Curricula Guide for WWTP Operator Certification Training — Basic Operations Course” and is also approved for credit toward recertification of a wastewater operator license.

 

Please note:

 

  • The first and last sessions will be held at SUNY Adirondack’s Queensbury campus. The remaining sessions will be held at Glens Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant (GFWWTP).
  • Attendance at all sessions and completion of all required course activities and the exam are required to receive a certificate of completion. 

 

Required textbooks: The following textbooks are required for the course. Students who do not already have these textbooks must purchase copies before the first class.

 

  • “Operation of Wastewater Treatment Plants,” Vol. 1, 8th Edition, published in 2019 (available through the Office of Water Programs, Sacramento State)
