Event Description
The Pennsylvania Water Environment Association (PWEA) is offering PA DEP Operator Certification Exams on different dates and locations in 2026.
2026 Exam Date:
$75 for PWEA Members
$125 for Non-Members
Reserving your exam seat(s) can only be done online through PWEA's online registration system. Payment for exams is by credit/debit card only.
REGISTRATION IS A TWO-PART PROCESS
IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT THE SIGNED TEST SELECTION FORM IN 10 DAYS YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THAT TESTING DATE
Exam Registration Confirmation: PWEA will use your completed PA DEP Test Selection Form to prepare a detailed certification exam confirmation letter; it will be emailed to you at the email address you provide - be sure to check your Spam and Junk folders and to save the email with attachment for future reference. Please ensure you mark pwea@pwea.org as a safe sender in your address book to prevent the confirmation letter from going to the Spam or Junk folder. Your confirmation letter will include information you need to know prior to showing up at the exam site.
All credit/debit card transactions will include a 3.5% technology fee.
The name and address information for the credit/debit card you use to make an online payment must EXACTLY match what is on record with the financial institution issuing the card or else the transaction will be declined. This is a security measure to prevent fraudulent activity. Credit card numbers are NOT stored by PWEA or the payment gateway vendor.
Cancellation Policy: No refund will be offered after the detailed confirmation letter has been processed and sent to you, unless there is someone on a wait list for the same exam date. (30 days before the exam.)
