Course Description

Become a BCWWA Certified Backflow Assembly Tester

This course is for plumbers, pipefitters, sprinkler fitters, and steam fitters and others involved in the installation, maintenance, and testing of back flow prevention devices. Participants will learn the hydraulic principles of backflow and the testing of backflow prevention assemblies. Successful completion provides certification through the BC Water & Waste Association (BCWWA). Test sessions for BCWWA are conducted on the last Saturday of the course.

Notes

IMPORTANT: While the ProSIT test fee is included in the tuition of this course, BCWWA collects their exam registration and fee separately. Registration with both ProSIT and BCWWA is required at least two weeks prior to test date. To make sure you are registered properly, follow these instructions:

  • Register for the Backflow Assembly Full Course and Tester Certification on this page ($675)
  • Then go online to BCWWA to pay the exam fee (approximately $130)
  • Allow 2 weeks for BCWWA to process your payment and ship your exam to ProSIT

If you have any questions, please email prosit@camosun.ca or phone 250-370-4563.


This program qualifies for the StrongerBC future skills grant, which provides funding of up to $3500 per person for short-term skills training. Please visit the ProSIT StrongerBC page to confirm your eligibility and to learn how to apply.

As part of the StrongerBC future skills grant program, this course has the option to use grant funding to subsidize the cost of the BCWWA exam, and the required textbook. If you have grant funding remaining and would like to use it towards your exam and/or textbook, this can be done by submitting proof of payment to prosit@camosun.ca, for a reimbursement of up to $213 ($130 for the BCWWA exam, $83 for the textbook).
