Understanding WWOCS Certification
WWOCS stands for the Water and Wastewater Certification System. The WWOCS is an online system managed by the Ontario Water Wastewater Certification Office (OWWCO) that allows water and wastewater operators to track their training and certifications.
One of the OWWCO’s key responsibilities is to assist the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks by approving training courses that meet annual training requirements under O.Reg.128/04. Only courses directly related to the duties of drinking water operators and wastewater professionals are reviewed for Director Approval and can become WWOCS Director-Approved courses.
ACUTE is a WWOCS certified training company offering Director-Approved courses specifically designed for water and wastewater professionals.
