North Carolina Backflow Courses
How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in North Carolina?
For North Carolina, there is no state level program that manages backflow prevention assembly testing, it is left up to each city, county, or local water purveyor. Most accept the Virginia State Program or the Georgia State Program, some may have their own requirements.
Does KTA offer courses in North Carolina?
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. We do offer open enrollment courses in Virginia and Georgia that would likely be acceptable.
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:
