Water is life - certification makes it happen.
Our Certification Program is a vehicle for individuals to become certified where a state, provincial or other government agency does not have a mandatory program established or to individuals who hold equivalent active certification in a jurisdiction with a mandatory program.
Approximately 600 active certificates currently are maintained by the ABC Certification Program, which also holds an active database of the certificants’ qualifications, certificates issued, and continuing education credits acquired.
