How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Arkansas ?
We hold an approval through Arkansas Department of Public Health as an authorized training provider for the 40-hour Backflow Tester Course. The approval is not published but you could confirm with the department of health directly, our contact is Bill Sims. In Arkansas, the course itself is not a license to test, there is also an exam you take with the state after the course is complete, application is downloadable here.
The Arkansas Department of Health maintains a database of approved testers – link – and the program is administered directly by them, they require an application to the state with the 40-hour training certificate included in the application package, and then you sit for an exam directly with the Department of Health, after which you are entered into their database as a tester.
Which Backflow Preventer Testing Procedures Should I Use?
For Arkansas and most southeastern states, the basis of the program is the USC 10th Edition. On our YouTube Channel, we created a series of videos where we test the four types of preventers using the USC procedures that are covered in the course.
