OWEA Voluntary Laboratory Certification Program
In the 1980's the Ohio Water Environment Association was concerned about the control of the quality of analysts working in our treatment plants and established a voluntary certification program for laboratory analysts. This program has met with success over the years and now, although not mandated by the State, many facilities require their analysts to have OWEA Laboratory Certification. Two exam dates are offered annually. OWEA currently has certified over 500+ professionals as a Class I, Class II, Class III, or Class IV analyst. Wastewater Laboratory Analyst Certification Exam Due to COVID-19 dates for the 2021 exam have not been set. The Application for Wastewater Laboratory Analyst Certification is now online! A fee of $95.00 must be paid by credit card at the time of the application or by check. Your application will not be processed until payment has been received. Any checks must be postmarked by the application deadline. Apply Here Please make sure you fill out the application carefully, especially where you are asked for Total hours hands on in laboratory work. Not completing the application properly could delay your receiving a certificate when you pass the exam.
