Purpose
Under Virginia's Waterworks Regulations, all Class VI waterworks
operators must hold a valid Class VI or higher license. The overall
goal of the short course is to cover all the content areas of the Class
VI examination. This program is for operators who want to spend a
short, intense amount of time preparing for the exam. You will receive
extensive information about the operation, maintenance, and
administration of Class VI waterworks. Several experts from Virginia
will teach the specific subject matter contained in the "Class VI
Operator's Training Manual."
About the Short Course
Participants should bring their "Class VI Operator's Training
Manual - Version II" and a calculator to class. Please note topics below
