Drinking Water Operator-in-Training (OIT)

If you are an OIT looking to extend your certificate, you must complete the mandatory entry-level drinking water operator course before your 16 month OIT certificate expires. 

Once you have completed the mandatory entry-level course, your certificate will be extended for three years from the date it was originally issued. 

Learn more about the mandatory entry-level course on the Walkerton Clean Water Centre website or by calling the centre at 1-866-515-0550.

If you are a college graduate or student of an environmental program, the mandatory entry-level course may be incorporated into your program. See a list of the colleges that offer the entry-level course on the Walkerton Clean Water Centre website.
