Question.I want to file for the upcoming grade 1 exam and I am currently enrolled in a WW treatment JC program and wont have the "directly" related courses done by the filing deadline. I do have college credits in "indirectly" related classes.Including bio,chem,etc.Will this satisfy the 6 education points I need if I attach the transcript to my exam application?I read that you get 1 ed. pt for every 10 hrs. of indirect course class instruction. Does a 3 unit course=4.8 ed pts (16weeksx3hrs/week)

@Eltoro590 Basically. Give the state a call and see what they have to say. I've never heard of someone trying it without some sort of wastewater class under their belt. Make sure you talk to someone that knows what their talking about (9 out of 10 times you call the person doesnt really know the regulations). 916 341-5819

can u film what your job is like and post it on youtube?

[CAwastewater]

@epakerd I could but it wouldnt be representative of the industry as a whole. Some plants are very laid back and others are busy busy busy. But im going to be making process videos very soon.

@hassan1854 Yes, but if you pass you only have 4 years to get your one year as an OIT before the test expires and you will have to re take it.

Can I take Grade One right way

[CAwastewater]

@miltonalcon I would say it depends on where you work... some plants are laid back, others you work your butt off. To each his/her own.
