The Association of Boards of Certification
In 1972, water and wastewater industry leaders began conversations which developed the groundwork for an association to foster operator certification throughout North America. From those early discussions, the Association of Boards of Certification was born.
Today, our Association includes almost 100 certifying authorities, representing more than 40 states, nine Canadian provinces as well as several international programs. These programs certify over 150,000 water and wastewater operators, laboratory analysts, plant maintenance technologists, biosolids land appliers and backflow prevention assembly testers.
