Parents & FamilyDrinking Water Certification Program
Delaware County Community College will once again be offering a drinking water certification program during the Spring 2026 semester.
Certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the program prepares entry-level operators for certification and employment. The minimum education level for operator certification is either a high school diploma or GED.
DCCC’s program offers all of the coursework and module review necessary to help students pass the licensing exam for DEP certification. The program is divided into two 90-hour sessions. Successful candidates must enroll for certification level 1 and 2.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, drinking water operator certification is crucial in protecting public health and the maintenance of safe, optimal and reliable water treatment and distribution facilities. The goal of certification is to ensure that skilled professionals are overseeing the treatment and distribution of safe drinking water, and it is an important step in promoting compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
