Course

NEW!  Students take practice tests in our computer lab that simulate the new FDEP computer based tests.

This four day class is designed to help the Class A examinee study for and pass the management section of the Florida Class A Wastewater exam.  Topics covered on day four include management theories, types of supervision, functions of management, motivating, evaluating and disciplining employees.  Days 1-3 covers material with the folks in the Wastewater Class B Certification Review course.  Day 4 will be an additional day of management material review.

Students please bring the calculator that you plan to use during the exam. We want you to practice doing calculations on it.  We will have calculators available if needed.

 What our students are saying about this course:

I learned what to focus on while studying for the exam-the need to know information.

I enjoyed participating in the training.  Mostly the peer teaching and team building exercises were most helpful.   The discussions were enjoyable too!

The training materials were superb!  The computer lab provided realistic and hands on activities that will be useful as I prepare for the "A" license exam.
