Georgia Backflow Tester / Cross Connection Courses

40-Hour Certification Course Schedule ($750)

Open Enrollment courses are not available at this time. We do offer private courses where we can come to you and train your students at your facility, minimum of 10 students per private course. More Info Here


NOTE - The courses do not include the ABPA exam. Check out more info on how to register and prepare for the ABPA exam on our USC Test Prep page - with links to their schedules and free resources to help you study.

Approvals and Registrations

Our 40-hour course is based on the USC (University of Southern California) textbook and course materials. Our 40-hour certificate program is acceptable to ABPA as the pre-requisite training for the backflow tester exam and license. The certification exam requires formal training and/or experience in order to apply, which our 40-hour course diploma is valid for this use and you just include the course info with your application.

How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Georgia?

Backflow Prevention Assembly Testing in Georgia is regulated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division, and they accept certification exams through a few organizations with American Backflow Prevention Association (ABPA) listed. This is found on the state regulations - Rule 391.3.5.13.7 - http://rules.sos.ga.gov/GAC/391-3-5-.13

Taking the Certification Exam ( ABPA )

Depending on availability, some of our courses can have an ABPA test proctored at the exam location on the Saturday following a Mon – Fri course. Otherwise, you would just take it at a separate exam location that is offered by the association. In order to host an exam, there are some space and access requirements in order to do this, notably a 60 day advance application. We would leave our props and gauges on site for use by the proctors. Our courses with a test proctored afterwards will be listed in the course schedule as such, you can find their full list of exams on the ABPA website. If doing a private course, we can have a hosted exam, provided that the course is scheduled with the 60 day notices required. There is no charge by either organization for hosting an exam, the only fees paid are by applicants who wish to take it.

Which Backflow Prevention Testing Procedures Should I Use ?

The APBA exams use the USC testing procedures, although some others are approved in certain areas. The ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures are a little more efficient and require less equipment (tees, hoses, etc.), but if taking the ABPA exam, the proctor will only accept USC 10th Edition.


On our YouTube Channel, we created a series of videos where we test the four types of preventers using both types of procedures if you wanted to check out the differences: 


Reduced Pressure Principle (RPZ) - USC 2-Valve Procedures 


Reduced Pressure Principle (RPZ) - ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures 


Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) - USC Procedures 


Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) - ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures 


Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) - USC Procedures 


Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) - ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures 


Spill Resistant Vacuum Breaker (SVB) - USC Procedures 


Spill Resistant Vacuum Breaker (SVB) - ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures
