Professional Training Association (PTA) is excited to announce that we teamed up with NIOSH to offer this two day “Collection Operator 1 & 2 Review & Exam Prep” training. PTA will provide the training and refreshments while NIOSH will make sure you all won’t starve during this event and have a comfortable chair to sit on during these two days.

Wastewater operations do not start at the wastewater treatment facility but include the sewer collection system, which consists of conveyance pipes, pumps, and liftstations. Many of the problems we encounter in the wastewater treatment plant also cause headaches in the collections systems. Grease build up, debris blocking screens, root penetrating pipes and tanks, grid build up, pump failure, increased flow, etc. are only a few of the challenges collection systems are dealing with on a daily basis.

Our two day “Collection Operator 1 & 2 Review & Exam Prep” workshop is designed to help you prepare for your upcoming Collection Operator 1 or 2 Exam. We will review the processes, components, equipment and math encountered in collection systems and practice exam style questions. After completing this training you will be able to determine on which areas you may want to focus your study efforts while continuing your exam preparations.

In this workshop we will:

• Review:
  1. The principles of collection systems operations.
  2. Commonly encountered components and equipment, including their operation, maintenance, & troubleshooting.
  3. Challenges encountered in collection systems.
  4. Biological, chemical, or physical parameters frequently monitored in collection systems.
  5. Sample collection procedures.
  6. Safety hazards.
• Explain how to understand and answer word problems.
• Address math formulas as they apply to collection systems.
• Provide many opportunities to practice exam style questions.
• Share tips for how to prepare yourself for the exam.
• Explore test taking techniques.
