One advantage of all Water Opcert School classes and courses is that they earn contact hours that can be used to renew a treatment or distribution license. So, if your expiration date is rapidly approaching, there is no need to wait for a class specifically designed for license renewal. Simply enroll in your choice of sessions that meet the required number of hours.
