Students study treatment process design, chemical and microbiological principles, laboratory techniques, and safety protocols, combined with hands-on operator training. The program is delivered in a blended format combining on-site and distance learning, and graduates are prepared to pursue Ontario licensing as drinking water and/or wastewater systems operators after gaining the required field experience. An optional co-operative education stream is available, adding paid work-term experience to the diploma.
