Nevada Backflow Tester Certification Courses

40-Hour Backflow Class Schedule ($1,000)

We don't currently have any open enrollment courses scheduled in the state of Nevada. We offer private courses and have a hosting program if you wanted to host a course. We also have open enrollment courses that are a similar USC based curriculum and have the same exams in California

Do a Private Course or Host A Public Course

No course scheduled in your area ? 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 8 students for Nevada

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. Needs to be in area that we don't already offer open enrollment courses.

How do I Become a Backflow Assembly Tester in Nevada?

There is no state level agency that regulates backflow testing in Nevada, so each water purveyor, water district, or other jurisdiction, makes their own rules. The City of Las Vegas accepts AWWA or ABPA, as well as most areas associated with a "health district" -> more info if you follow up with environmentalhealth@snhd.org - After contacting multiple jurisdictions, all of them contacted accept the AWWA or ABPA exams.

Our 40-hour course is a prep course and a completion certificate is required to apply for the ABPA or AWWA third party exam - more info on our Exam Prep Page

Which Backflow Preventer Testing Procedures Should I Use?

The APBA and AWWA exams use the USC 10th Edition testing procedures. On our YouTube Channel, we created a series of videos where we test the four types of preventers using these procedures:

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

Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) - USC Procedures

Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) - USC Procedures

Spill Resistant Vacuum Breaker (SVB) - USC Procedures
