Safety Training
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.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Individuals registered for one of our training classes, seminars, and/or conferences (such as Fee-Based courses or the Trifecta) will be charged the class fee if we have not received notice of cancellation at least 48 hours prior to the beginning of class. Anyone contacting MassRWA to cancel enrollment in a training session will receive a cancellation number. In the event of an emergency, which would prevent attendance, please contact MassRWA as soon as possible with the details. If you are not able to make it to a class you have registered for, please let us know asap, so we may notify the next person from the Wait List. If you do not show, forget, or have double booked yourself, you will be charged the full priced without prior cancellation.
