Testing Times Extended for Higher Level Certification Exams

The Utility Operator Certification Program (UOCP) values operator feedback, comments and concerns while providing services to accommodate the Operator communities.

After careful review and consideration our program in collaboration with the Association of Boards of Certification (ABC) and the New Mexico Workforce Connection Testing Centers agree to extend the allotted times for higher level certification exams.

All level 3 and 4 certification exams will be extended to a 6-hour exam period to allow ample time for testing on the more complex water and wastewater exams.

The new 6-hour testing time will be given for only these exams listed below:

  • Wastewater Lab Technician Level 3 (WLT3)
  • Distribution Systems Level 3 (DS3)
  • Wastewater Systems Levels 3 & 4 (WS3 and WS4)
  • Water Supply Levels 3 & 4 (WW3 and WW4)
