Backflow Assembly Tester Renewal Course

CRWA Academy of Water Education offers this two-day Backflow Assembly Tester Renewal course. This two-day course is designed for currently Certified Backflow Assembly Testers to update and reinforce their proper testing procedures and failure diagnosis skills. Industry standards recommend updating or renewing a class every two to three years. Backflow prevention and cross-connection topics are presented to keep the tester current on industry changes. A safety discussion is an important reminder when working in the field for issues such as confined space hazards. Hands-on practical exams and short quizzes are included.
