How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Mississippi ?
Our 32-hour backflow tester course / program is approved through the Mississippi State Department of Health, Bureau of Public Water Supply. The course is technically 5 days including the exams, so four 8-hour days of training and then both a written and practical exam on the day following. If you need to renew your license, you just have to sit for their exam. The exams are either directly administered by the state or they sometimes allow us to proctor our own exams, also there is a registration process with the Health Department following the courses and exams.
