Join us October 21-22 during the Annual Conference at the Hyatt Regency Coralville! 

This two-day, 12-hour exam prep course is designed for individuals looking for a condensed review in preparation for taking or retaking a Grade 1 or Grade 2 IDNR Water Treatment or Distribution Operator Certification exam. Ideal candidates for this class will have been working in the industry for some time and now be preparing to take the test for the first time, or operators who are preparing to retake the test. Participants earn up to 1.2 CEUs approved for IDNR Water Treatment and Distribution certifications. Exam Prep curriculum is developed and presented by DMACC with support from IDNR.

Breakfast, lunch, and an evening reception are included each day, providing participants with opportunities to network with hundreds of conference attendees and to explore the Annual Conference Exhibit Hall.

Iowa DNR implemented new WPI standardized operator certification exams in 2025. The content of this Exam Prep Course is tailored to these new exam blueprints and will guide participants on how to utilize the new Need-to-Know Criteria and Formula/Conversion Tables.
