Tennessee Backflow Tester Certification Courses
How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Tennessee?
Backflow Prevention Assembly Testers, especially those working with water purveyors in the state, are regulated by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, and they have a list of approved course providers on their website linked here
Does KTA offer backflow courses in Tennessee ?
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. If you need a license for Mississippi or Kentucky we have programs for those states, and they do not accept the Tennessee State Program, but for the state of Tennessee we do not have approved backflow courses.
What 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:
