This course, and related cross-connection control and backflow prevention courses, are being offered by our partner, Madison College. These courses will provide the same high-quality cross-connection and backflow prevention training you have come to expect from UW–Madison InterPro. This course provides practical training through hands-on sessions that will teach you how to test backflow prevention assemblies and identify and resolve problems with backflow prevention assemblies. Backflow theory; selection of backflow prevention methods, devices and assemblies for specific applications; and state and local agency rules and regulations will also be discussed. Participation in this course and successful completion of the hands-on and written examinations fulfill the training requirements for registration as a Cross-Connection Control Tester in Wisconsin and for certification in several other states.
