The Wastewater Operator’s Guide to Preparing for the Certification Examination was prepared jointly by the Water Environment Federation, the Association of Boards of Certification (ABC), and the Certification Commission for Environmental Professionals (C2EP). It outlines what you can expect from the exam, provides key formulas, and lets you test your skills with sample questions. Use the book to study on the go, and then when you get home, take an online practice quiz (complete with a timer). Explore the interactive quizzes, which offer immediate feedback after each answer is chosen.
The approximately 200 questions included in this guide have been chosen to sample as many different aspects of a wastewater operator’s job responsibilities as possible. Questions in the study guide are intended to provide an example of style and possible topics for certification exam questions.
Four levels of certification exams are offered by ABC, with class I being the lowest level and class IV the highest level. The specifications for the exams are based on a weighting of the job analysis results so that they reflect the criticality of tasks performed on the job. The following specifications list the percentage of questions on the exam that fall under each job duty. For example, 25% of the questions on the ABC class I wastewater treatment exam relate to the job duty “Equipment Operation.”
