Minnesota Backflow Courses
How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Minnesota?
In Minnesota, backflow preventer assembly testers are regulated by the Department of Labor and Industry, and the certification is a designation that is added to a plumbing license. Their website says that any program accredited as an ASSE 5110 course is acceptable.

Does KTA offer courses in Minnesota ?
No we don't. This website is mostly set up just to exist if we end up doing courses in the state at a later date.
Which Backflow Testing Procedures Should I Use ?
All of our courses utilize the University of Southern California, Foundation for Cross Connection Control and Hydraulic Research ( USC-FCCHR ) 10th Edition testing procedures and diagnostics, using derivative materials and auxiliary tests if applicable by the local authorities.
On our YouTube Channel, we created a series of videos explaining the testing procedures:
