Exam route under review
Program authority: Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Operator Certification Program
Local levels: Class D, Class C, Class B, Class A (ascending).
Mandatory DEP licensure. Current DEP documents establish Florida class-specific examinations, outlines, and regulatory content, but do not explicitly establish whether the examination bank is state-developed, customized ABC, or standardized WPI/ABC. PSI delivery is not proof of exam content. No explicit standardized scope or Florida-class-to-WPI-class correspondence verified.

‘Florida Statutes require that anyone who operates a drinking water treatment plant, domestic wastewater treatment plant and/or water distribution system be licensed by DEP.’ PSI is identified as the testing vendor.
Examination overview names ‘Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D’ for drinking-water and wastewater treatment. Separate drinking-water subject outlines are provided for each class; the handbook warns that listed FDEP rules can appear on licensing exams.
Exam route under review
Program authority: Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Operator Certification Program
Local levels: Class D, Class C, Class B, Class A (ascending), for domestic wastewater treatment.
Mandatory DEP licensure. Wastewater evidence was checked independently in the handbook’s separate wastewater examination outlines. Exam-bank provenance remains ambiguous between state-developed, customized ABC, and standardized WPI/ABC; no explicit standardized scope or local-to-WPI class correspondence verified.

Specifically requires DEP licensure for domestic wastewater treatment plant operators. It identifies Operation of Wastewater Treatment Plants, Volume 3, enrollments A and B, as the updated CSUS approved course for the Wastewater Class B examination.
Separate wastewater outlines name Classes A, B, C, D. Class B includes nutrient removal and solids handling; Class D includes ‘Package Plants & Disinfection.’ Domestic wastewater rules listed are 62-600, 62-601, 62-620, and 62-640, F.A.C.
Exam route under review
Program authority: Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Operator Certification Program
Local levels: Level 3, Level 2, Level 1 (current new-licensure progression); Level 4 also appears in renewal information, but current Level 4 examination availability is unverified.
Mandatory DEP licensure, distinct from treatment certification. Licensing page requires new applicants to begin at Level 3 and take the ‘applicable state distribution examination.’ That wording and Florida outlines do not conclusively distinguish state-developed from customized ABC examinations. Standardized WPI/ABC scope and class correspondence are unverified; Florida numbering must not be mapped directly to WPI classes.
No state-matched course is linked for this stream yet.
‘All individuals now wishing to obtain a water distribution license must begin the licensure process at Level 3’; progression table lists 3, 2, 1. Renewal text includes levels ‘1, 2, 3 & 4.’
Distribution examination section names ‘Level 1, 2, or 3’ and provides a distribution-specific outline including drinking-water regulations, equipment, disinfection, system design/inspection, water quality, safety, administration, and math.
Requires Level 3 licensure before the Level 2 exam and Level 2 licensure before the Level 1 exam. Its fee table still lists a Distribution Level 4 examination, creating an availability ambiguity against the current handbook and new-entry instructions.
Exam route under review
Program authority: Florida Water and Pollution Control Operators Association (FW&PCOA), voluntary certification program
Local levels: Level 3, Level 2, Level 1 (ascending).
A voluntary FW&PCOA certification pathway was identified, not a DEP collection-system operator license. The provider explicitly grants certification from Level 3 through Level 1. Opened pages support the local certification structure and curricula but do not identify the certification examination bank or establish state designation of this collection exam. Neither standardized WPI/ABC use nor a class correspondence is verified; do not label this stream not-offered.
No state-matched course is linked for this stream yet.
‘The FW&PCOA has been providing the voluntary certification of wastewater collection system operators since 1981.’ ‘The association grants certification step-wise, starting at the 3 level and progressing to the 1 level.’ Describes distinct Level 3 and Level 2 curricula.
Names ‘Wastewater Collection System Operator 1’; its curriculum covers supervisory functions, leadership, conflict resolution, decision-making, motivation, and review of Level 3 and 2 concepts. Collection students receive separate certification applications.
