UF TREEO Backflow Prevention Tester Course

This five day course provides guidelines for acceptable practices for testing and annual inspection of backflow prevention assemblies used in cross-connection control programs. At the end of the course, an individual evaluation is administered to those who choose to participate in the voluntary certification program sponsored by the UF TREEO Center.

* It is highly recommended that students do their best to complete their assigned homework during the allotted time of the course to ensure they are able to comprehend and understand the material.  Students are also expected to spend two hours each evening studying the material to prepare for the exams.

This course is for Tester Certification only. For Repair Certification, you must take the Repair Certification and Maintenance Course. Backflow Prevention Assembly Testers hold valid certification for two-years from the date of initial certification and/or recertification. We give a third year as a grace period. Once the three years have passed, you will need to take the Initial certification again.

Daily breaks are scheduled. You are on your own for lunch.
