Who needs to be certified?
Any community and nontransient-noncommunity public water supply system that provides pumped water for human consumption must employ a certified water operator. A community public water supply system is a system that has a minimum of 15 service connections or living units used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. These systems generally provide drinking water to people where they permanently reside. Municipalities, mobile home parks, correctional institutions, apartments, and nursing homes are all examples of community systems. A nontransient noncommunity public water supply system is a system that provides drinking water to at least 25 of the same nonresident people (such as students and employees) on a regular basis. These systems include schools, daycare facilities, factories, and businesses. Go to > top.
Classroom teachers, administrative and supervisory personnel, and pupil personnel service professionals are required to hold a Certificate issued by New York State in order to be employed in the State’s public schools. Certificates are issued in a wide variety of titles in each of these three major categories. Teaching Assistants must be certified. In addition, New York State also requires that coaches, visiting lecturers and teachers of adult, community and continuing education obtain a special license.
