Many utilities have water and wastewater employees who need CEH training, but can't afford to send everyone to training at once. Holding a class at your location will reduce the cost of travel and time away from the system.

Due to the the many requests for on-site training, we established a training program providing "in-house" or "on-site" continuing education hour (CEH) courses.

Whether your employees need a few hours or several days of continuing education training, we can tailor a training program to meet your system needs.

• Pick from a variety of structured courses (listed below) or ask ARWA to customize a course.
• You may set up custom training for your employees only or include employees from neighboring systems to share the expense.

Call today to schedule "On-Site" CEH Training for your system or to request more information regarding this training program.
