CEU Requirements
If you have not completed your required amount of continuing
education, you should begin making arrangements now! Please do
not wait until the last minute when all classes are full and
unavailable. You may search the status of your ceu’s at
http://ocp.dep.state.fl.us/default.asp.
CEU Splitting
Please note that the splitting of CEU’s is no longer allowed.
An example of this would be a management course worth 4.0 ceus.
These ceu’s cannot be split into 2.0 for water and 2.0 for
wastewater if you are dually licensed. If you have any questions
regarding this, please call the Certification and Restoration Program
at 850-245-7500. |
 Florida Statutes require anyone who operates a drinking water
treatment plant or a domestic wastewater treatment plant to
be licensed by FDEP. Beginning May 1, 2011, licensure for Water
Distribution System Operators becomes mandatory. To qualify for licensure an applicant must meet
minimum educational and work experience requirements for each class of
license. A passing score is required on the exam for the type and level
license desired.
You may now
renew your license on-line and pay with your credit card.
It’s fast and simple. In addition to using this site to renew your
