This 40-hour course is designed to train students in the techniques for testing all gauge testable backflow assemblies. The class will include lecture, demonstration and practice testing on pressure vacuum breakers, double check valves, and the reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assemblies.

The Backflow Tester Refresher Training takes place the same week on Thursday and Friday, a 16 hour "refresher" course. This course allows experienced certified testers to refresh their knowledge and skills, before taking the re-certification test.  

Any "refreshing" attendee who wishes to attend all 40 hours must attend the Monday Session with the new students.

THE CERTIFICATION EXAM IS A SEPARATE FUNCTION OFFERED AFTER THE TRAINING. ATTENDEES WHO WANT A TESTER CERTIFICATION WILL HAVE TO REGISTER WITH ABPA BY GOING TO: https://www.abpa.org/event
