Rhode Island Backflow Tester Certification Courses
32-Hour Certification Course Schedule ($750)
Do a Private Course or Host a Public Course
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 TREEO program is recognized in many states by their state program ( including Massachusetts ) - in the state of Rhode Island, there is no state level program so each water purveyor makes their own rules. Our MA state program, and even just our 32-hour course, would likely be accepted through reciprocity, and some have received and approved our application as a tester.
How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Rhode Island?
Backflow Preventer Assembly Testing is not regulated at the state level by Rhode Island, so it is left up to each water purveyor, city, county, etc. Providence Water, and other local water purveyors, generally accept the Massachusetts State License as reciprocal. More info on our Mass courses can be found on our Massachusetts Page - a link to Providence Water's backflow tester requirements is below:

If you have a specific question about a specific water purveyor, let me know at krugerstrainingacademy@gmail.com and I can reach out / make a submission for our program or Massachusetts reciprocity to them.
Which Backflow Preventer Testing Procedures Should I Use ?
Our courses include the UF/ TREEO procedures, and there are many others available ( notably USC which is very similar to TREEO, and ASSE 5000 series which uses 1 hose only )
On our YouTube Channel, we created a series of videos where we test the four types of preventers using both types of procedures if you wanted to check out the differences:
Reduced Pressure Principle (RPZ) - USC 2-Valve Procedures
Reduced Pressure Principle (RPZ) - ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures
Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) - USC Procedures
Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) - ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures
