ADEQ Operator Certification Exam
Welcome to the ADEQ Operator Certification Exam Portal
GateWay Community College is the only college in the state offering specialized degrees and certificates in water and wastewater treatment and water resources technologies and is the proctoring agency for the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Operator Certification exams. We have been providing operator exam services since 2008 in partnership with ADEQ and the Association of Boards of Certifications (ABC).
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality aims to protect and enhance public health and the environment in Arizona. ADEQ is committed to leading Arizona and the nation in protecting the environment and improving the quality of life for the people of our state.
The ADEQ Certification testing program establishes guidelines to ensure that only certified operators make decisions about process control or system integrity that affects public health. The program establishes minimum standards for certification and recertification of the operators of drinking water and wastewater systems.
Our summer schedule will run in mid-July through August. Testing will be conducted only in the Phoenix area at that time: GateWay-Phoenix, Surprise, Glendale, and Gilbert. The dates/locations will be posted in early July.
Our Fall testing schedule will begin in September and the dates/locations will be published on this website in late July.
