The Academy for Water Professional Development is a new initiative
of the Association to fill an industry training gap and advance the
careers of participants. The program includes multi-year technical
and soft-skill training courses, which have been developed based on
input from industry leaders across North Carolina. The Association’s
goal is to release the first phase of the program in July 2015.

Academy)?
The Academy is a specialized training and certification program
for current or prospective water industry employees seeking to
advance their careers.
Why should I enroll?
The Academy has been built for professionals who look at the
water industry not just as a job, but as a career. The Association
consulted with industry leaders to determine the most highly
desired skillsets for upper level employees. Our courses have
been designed to incorporate that feedback and position
participants for supervisory and upper level management
positions. Any individual who is serious about advancing his or
her career and is willing to invest time into training is
encouraged to enroll.
How is The Academy structured?
The courses for each discipline in our program have been
organized into four certifiable levels: Apprentice, Journeyman 1,
Journeyman 2, and Master. Certification will require completion
of all courses within each level (or equivalent) and passing a
comprehensive exam.
Can I receive credit for prior training or years in the workforce?
Credit for previous training courses and/or work experience will
Will I receive a degree or college credit?
The Academy is not currently affiliated with any college or
outside degree program. All certifications will be from NC AWWAWEA only.
Where will the training be held?
Training sessions will be held at venues throughout North
Carolina and on the web.
What disciplines are currently available
for certification?
We are currently offering courses in Collection System
Technician and Distribution System Technician programs;
however, more disciplines are currently under development.
How long will it take me to complete

Seminars & Institutes
To keep up with the changing needs of our members and their employers, in 2015 we will be restructuring our training
programs. Our new Institute program will shift our focus from producing seminars based on committees’ interests, to
developing on-demand programs based on a hosting utility's needs. In this new format, utilities will reserve dates and
space at their facility and request training topics. NC AWWA-WEA committees will then create training programs based
on the requested topics. To ensure that small utilities and individuals not employed by utilities continue to have access
to our training, a block of seats will be reserved at each Institute event, and that block will be open for general
registration, similar to our current seminar program registration.
If you are interested in hosting an Institute training in 2015 contact Betsy Drake, Town of Cary, (919) 481-5093 or
betsy.drake@townofcary.org.
Several Institute programs and seminars are planned for 2015. Details and registration information will be posted online
at www.ncsafewater.org in January 2015. Additional information for future Institutes and seminars will appear in future
issues of the Training Catalog.

Maintenance professionals in the water and wastewater industry
continue to be confronted with increasing technology challenges and
changes requiring an extensive knowledge of the many facets of
industrial maintenance. In order to stay abreast of these challenges,
our profession needs to implement a continual program of education,
reinforcement and validation of the skills necessary to sustain our
industry.
A maintenance training and certification program provides the ability to
raise and validate knowledge and skills required to successfully
perform maintenance activities according to current professional
standards. Two four-day schools are being offered in 2015. Each school
will consist of 3.5-days of instruction culminating in the opportunity for
attendees to become certified by taking the Plant Maintenance
Technologist Exam on the afternoon of the fourth day. The certification
exam taken will correspond with the Class level taught at a particular
school. Class IV will be added to the maintenance school curriculum in
the future.
CLASS LOCATIONS
All classes will be held at the Foothills Higher Education Center at 2128
South Sterling Street in Morganton, NC 28655. Directions/map will be

will have studied extensively before the schools. All concepts covered

is a requirement to sit for any exam, it is not the only requirement. For

What is NC AWWA-WEA?
Formed in 1928, NC AWWA-WEA is a volunteer association operating jointly under one Board of Trustees as the North Carolina Section of the

equipment suppliers, service providers, and representatives from academia. Working through a network of committees, our volunteers provide the
foundation for all Association activities.
