2022 PA DEP Operator Certification Exams
1/14/2022 - 11/4/2022

Event Description
The Pennsylvania Water Environment Association (PWEA) is offering PA DEP Operator Certification Exams on different dates and locations in 2022.  You may register for more than one exam date, but you should allow at least 30 days between exam dates so DEP has time to grade exams and send pass/fail notifications by US Mail.

Register for your exam(s) through PWEA's online registration system.  Payment for exams is by credit/debit card only. 

Before registering, please download and review the DEP informational document titled "Important Information for Operators Taking 2022 Certification Exams" (PDF).


REGISTRATION IS A TWO-PART PROCESS  
  1. Complete your online registration and pay the registration fee (credit/debit cards only) in order to reserve your seat. You will receive a system-generated confirmation email which reserves your seat at the exam, after completing the registration fee payment.  
  2. You then need to complete and return to PWEA the DEP Test Selection Form within 10 work days - a link to this form will be included in your seat registration confirmation email. The Test Selection Form advises the DEP of your facility class and which drinking water or wastewater tests you want to take, so they can be loaded onto a computer for you or packaged for your written exam. Please do not delete any content from the DEP Test Selection Form prior to submitting to PWEA. Your completed DEP Test Selection Form must include your hand-written signature.   DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR TEST SELECTION FORM WITH YOUR SMART PHONE; the images arrive blurry, are too dark, are crooked, or are too small when printed and the DEP will reject your form.  
Completed DEP Test Selection Forms must be returned by email to exams@pwea.org OR faxed to 717-303-5219 within 10 days of your online payment.  

PWEA will use your completed DEP Test Selection Form to prepare your exam confirmation letter; it will be emailed to you at the email address you provide.  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.
