Operator Certification Training

We provide certification training to our contracted clients, preparing operators for Arizona licensure in Water Treatment, Wastewater Treatment, Water Distribution, and Wastewater Collection at all grade levels.

We also deliver training in New Mexico under our contract with EPCOR.

Sessions are delivered in one-day combined level formats (Grades 1–2 and 3–4), fully aligned with the 2025 Need-to-Know Criteria. Each session delivers targeted exam review covering fundamentals, math, and core operational concepts.

Training for Contracted Clients
Operator certification training is provided exclusively to organizations with an active AOS service contract. We do not offer open enrollment or individual registration.

If your organization is under contract with AOS and would like to schedule a session, contact us with the topics, number of participants, and preferred dates. Not yet a client? Contact us to learn about our service agreements.
