An Operator-In-Training (OIT) is an operator that has taken and passed a Level 1 exam, either the Water Systems or Wastewater Systems exam, before meeting the eligibility requirements for a Level 1 license. The operator is NOT CERTIFIED until they have obtained six (6) months of operational experience (1040 hours) and 35 hours of training in water and/or distribution for the Water Systems license or wastewater and/or collection for the Wastewater Systems license. The operator must then submit a license application when these requirements have been met to achieve certification.
