Is your Certification coming up for Renewal?

Continuing Education Unit (CEU) will be required for renewal of unrestricted operator certificate

0.3 to 1.2 CEU for certificate renewal. Class 3 and 4 certificate renewals will require 1.2 CEU,

Class 1 and 2 certificate renewals will require 0.6 CEU and Small System certificate renewal will

require 0.3 CEU.

For the purposes of the operator certification criteria, one CEU represents 10 contact-hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under the capable direction of qualified instructors or otherwise presented in a manner approved by the Director. CEU courses are offered by a variety of providers. To be used towards certification, the subject must be "water or wastewater works operations, engineering, science, or a related field."

You should submit an application at least 2 months before the expiry date to give MB Conservation time to process the new certificate before the old one expires.

A renewal form has been developed, and is available on the MB Conservations website at: http://www.gov.mb.ca/conservation/eal/certification/opcert_renewal.pdf

Will the fee remain the same? The fee for renewal is $75.00.
