All DW, WW and WDS licenses are renewed on a two-year cycle. The end of the renewal cycle is always April 30 of odd-numbered years. We are in the 2021-2023 renewal cycle, so the renewal deadline is April 30, 2023. Licenses expire if they are not renewed by this deadline.
If you hold ONLY a DW or a WW license (not dual certified), then:
- DW or WW Class C – 1.0 CEUs
- DW or WW Class B – 2.0 CEUs
- DW or WW Class A – 2.0 CEUs
If you are DUAL certified (both DW and WW licenses), then:
- DW and WW Class C – 1.0 CEUs each; total 2.0 CEUs
- DW or WW Class C, DW or WW Class B or A – 1.0 CEUs for the Class C, 2.0 CEUs for the Class B or A; total 3.0 CEUs
- DW Class B or A, WW Class B or A – 1.5 CEUs for each license; total 3.0 CEUs
Water Distribution (All Levels) – 0.5 CEUs
As long as you have not taken the same course during the previous 2-year renewal cycle (2019-2021), you can repeat the course.
However, if the course number has changed, it can be counted for CEUs (please check your certificate and the course description to find the course number)
