Testing Site Update
3/17/2010

While Pearson VUE strives to provide convenient testing locations for CWEA candidates, it’s another challenge to keep them open and for the hours that the candidate’s need.

Pearson VUE reports that they are in the process of searching for a new test location for the Eureka area due to the closure of a test location in northern California. A similar issue has come up for the Coachella Valley area in southern California.  A promising opening of a third-party testing site in Palm Desert only allows a short time for CWEA certification testing during the week.

Pearson VUE is working on searching for new test site locations for these areas and understand the demand from CWEA candidates. Meanwhile, candidates are asked to plan ahead of time and schedule their tests well in advance.

Stay tuned for more on this issue.

During the survey you are asked to rate the necessary tasks performed by the wastewater collection technologists by importance and frequency. These necessary tasks are known as Essential Duties.

Because of the comprehensive scope of this job analysis, we ask that half of the CSM 3 and 4 CWEA certificate-holder population rate the importance and frequency of the essential duties of two of the four certification grade levels, while the other half rate the essential duties of the remaining two. Our goal is to validate the CWEA certification tests by today’s industry job standards. The survey will only take 25 minutes to complete.

The survey will be in your inbox in the next couple of weeks. We look forward to your survey responses.
