IVCC has opened registration for its water and wastewater courses in the 2026 spring semester.

Four courses are being offered. Beginning Drinking Water Class C & D, Advanced Drinking Water Class A & B, Beginning Wastewater Class 3 & 4, and Advanced Wastewater Class 1 & 2.

These courses will be offered online starting the week of Feb 2. Students may register for the courses up until the first day of class.

Upon completion of a course, it is the student’s responsibility to schedule their own certification exam with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

These classes aim to help individuals prepare for specific Water/Wastewater exams in order to become certified with the Illinois EPA or to meet the required Renewable Training Hours (RTH’s) in this field.

These classes are eligible for the Non-Credit Strategies at Work Grant.
