Rhode Island Backflow Tester Certification Courses
32-Hour Backflow Class Schedule ($900)
We don't currently have any open enrollment courses scheduled in the state of Rhode Island. We offer private courses and have a hosting program if you wanted to host a course.
We offer open enrollment courses in Massachusetts that would likely work for your local water purveyor as reciprocal with their state license - more info and the schedule is posted on our Massachusetts Page
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. Providence Water, and other local water purveyors, generally accept the Massachusetts State License as reciprocal. More info on our Massachusetts courses can be found on our Massachusetts Page

Which Backflow Preventer Testing Procedures Should I Use ?
We have found the USC-10th Edition testing procedures to be the most efficient. 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
