Never before has TEEX been able to bring so much training, in an Expo format, to one area at one time.The three-day schedule is packed, beginning with registration at 7 a.m. on Tuesday,
The Expo is going to have a lot of training opportunities, including traditional classroom-based courses required for Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) licensing, as well as guest speakers, special presentations, and evening study sessions to help students prepare for licensing exams. We'll be teaching basic water, basic wastewater, pump and motor, and valve and hydrant maintenance as well as utilities calculations and confined space entry.
MGT342, Senior Officials Disaster Management for Water & Wastewater, is a second, shorter course for senior officials who may be required to manage or react to any natural or man-made incident affecting water or wastewater systems. Both courses are available at no cost to qualified systems.Our brochure for the Lower Rio Grande Valley Water & Wastewater Training Expo contains the complete list of course offerings as well as the agenda, along with some great photos of our classes and training aids. Join us, even if it's just for the opening session, or visit with our trainers and share what you know.
