No course or exam scheduled in your area ? Our motto is "We Are Where You Are" meaning we try to service local areas as well as possible. We have two additional programs available, links to more info below:


Private Course - We can come to your location and train only your staff, bring all props, handouts, equipment, etc., Minimum of 10 students


Host a Course - Similar to a private course, we come to your facility and train your staff, but also you allow other local technicians to attend. No minimums for these and you get 2 free students.

Approvals and Registrations

Our 32-hour Initial and 6-hour Renewal Backflow Testers Courses are approved through the Georgia Association of Water Professionals ( GAWP ) as part of the Georgia Statewide Backflow Prevention Assembly Certification Program. Our approval with GAWP is listed here 

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 number of third parties ( such as ABPA & ASSE) or you can do the Georgia Statewide Backflow Prevention Assembly Certification Program which is administered by GAWP.


This is found on the state regulations - Rule 391.3.5.13.7 - http://rules.sos.ga.gov/GAC/391-3-5-.13 -  "all required field testing shall be performed by persons who are certified in the testing of backflow prevention assemblies by the Georgia Statewide Backflow Prevention Assembly Certification Program, as approved by the Division" 


More info on how to apply with GAWP upon completion of the course can be found here - there is a computer based written exam proctored by the state, the practical exam is completed at our course.

Which Backflow Prevention Testing Procedures Should I Use ?

There are a bunch of options when it comes to testing backflow preventers as far as which procedures to use. We have found that the ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures are most efficient if you can use them, and have fewer requirements as far as equipment, connector tees, and number of hoses and adapters needed:


On our YouTube channel, we created a series of videos where we test the four types of preventers using these procedures if you're not familiar with them:


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


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


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


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


Download These Procedures in PDF  


There are also test procedures from the USC 10th Edition and UF-TREEO programs, our courses in Georgia utilize the UF-TREEO textbook and materials so those are covered in the courses.
