The Water Treatment Operators "C" License course offered by our Institute is the first step to starting a career in water treatment!  This course will prepare you for employment as a water treatment plant operator, or provide supplemental training for persons currently employed in this field.  It will also prepare students for the "C" License exam offered through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. This course includes lecture, group discussions, water treatment plant visits, lab work, problem solving, and demonstrations.  Completing this course meets the requirement of the State of Florida for 155 hours of classroom instruction.

The non-credit course is offered at the HCC Plant City Campus. 

Our next courses will begin in the Fall of 2013. Class meetings will be held Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:00pm - 9:00pm and Saturdays from 10:00am - 3:30pm. The class will meet at the Plant City Campus. The course runs approximately 15 weeks.

The course fee is $450, which does not include the books required for the course. The two books that each student will need for the course are published by the Sacramento State Office of Water Programs and will be valuable resources to help you throughout your career in the water treatment industry.  The titles are "Water Treatment Plant Operation, Volume I" and "Water Treatment Plant Operation, Volume II." You can order these books using the links below, or use a website that sells textbooks to get used copies or earlier editions of the manual.
