Program details
Overview
This part-time online certificate program provides learners with the knowledge and skills required to work in the water treatment operations industry, an industry which plays a critical role in protecting public health and the natural environment through the responsible treatment of drinking water. To enter the operating profession, individuals must become certified. Graduates of this program will have sufficient knowledge to write various level certification examinations. Courses within this program may also be of interest to water operators who are seeking director-approved continuing education units (CEUS) that are recognized by the Ontario Water Wastewater Certification Office (OWWCO).
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Conestoga's programme page for this part-time continuing-education certificate states a single admission bar and refers applicants generally to the college's admissions process: applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, or must be at least 19 years of age or older. No English-language-proficiency test scores, portfolio, interview or other conditions are published on the programme page itself. Per Conestoga's general domestic admissions information, applicants whose prior education was not in English, or whose transcripts are from outside Canada, must have those transcripts assessed by a credential evaluation service such as ICAS or WES and must also demonstrate English proficiency; Conestoga states it publishes no single domestic test-score table, so the required evidence is the one set out on the individual program page, which here is silent on scores. Applications are made through Ontario Colleges (ontariocolleges.ca), with final selection made after assessment of the stated requirement.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca (college code CONS): for the Fall 2027 intake the online application opens 26 September 2026, the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027, offers may be issued from 1 November 2026, and accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027; most oversubscribed programs stop accepting applications after 1 February 2027, though many programs remain open afterward. Conestoga does not publish a separate equal-consideration date for its January intake. International applicants apply directly to Conestoga and are assessed on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis until each program fills; no fixed international closing date is published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
