2. Typically, we will reserve 5 seats for people of small systems (<10,000 population served) and need a minimum of three small systems to register for classes. Any remaining seats, of these 5, will be filled from the Wait List in the order in which they were received. Participants will be made known if they are on the Wait List, and if they are moved to the active roster. Please don't hesitate to contact Jason should you have any questions.

The Association provides training seminars all around the State of Massachusetts on various water and wastewater topics. We are developing an extensive training program including water and wastewater operator training, certification exam preparatory courses, operations and maintenance training, safety, and much more. All of our courses are MassDEP approved for water and/or wastewater TCHs for license renewals.

Please email us with any training ideas and suggestions. We will review all recommendations and consider them when planning future classes. If you would like your facility to be added to our host list, please let us know.

Would you like to have MassRWA conduct technical training at your facility?
We can offer your facility the convenience and efficiency of on-site contract training. This program will allow you to target your staff's specific needs, such as certification, safety, operations and maintenance, and administrative. We will work with you to develop a program of classes that are most suited to your educational and financial needs.

Please contact us with any questions you may have or to obtain more information.


VIRTUAL CLASSES: ZOOM
Classes may be held either In-Person or Virtually using the Zoom platform, however, the vast majority of our classes have shifted back to In-Person classes.

For virtual classes, all participants will need access to a computer, tablet, or smartphone that has Zoom videoconferencing software installed, and a good internet connection. If you don’t yet have Zoom, you can sign up and download here.
