Continuing Education Unit:

NOVA Online places the definition of 1.0 CEU (Continuing Education Unit) as equivalent to 10 contact hours as prescribed by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) method of training.

NOVA Online's training courses are designed based on current and comprehensive subjects tailored to the water treatment industry.  NOVA's courses are designed using prescribed training guidelines, concise learning objectives, and methods for assessing that learning took place. All NOVA courses have been prepared by trained, qualified instructors. NOVA will award the stated course CEU's to students who successfully complete the selected course.

Disclaimer:

Each individual state or province has their own continuing education requirements for maintaining respective water operations licenses.  Some states or provinces may also have a differing name for CEU's, such as Contact Hours (CH's), Training Units (TU's), Continuing Education (CE's) etc.

While NOVA courses will meet or exceed most state and provincial requirements, it is up to the individual taking the course to ensure that the NOVA course they select will meet any criteria required by your regulatory body for your education and licensing needs.

If a course is approved by one state or province for CEU approval, this does not necessarily mean another state or province will have the same policies. It is the responsibility of the individual taking the course to confirm suitability with their regulatory body.

NOVA staff make every attempt to insure that course content is accurate and up to date, but because drinking water regulations are functions of numerous government bodies they are subject to change at any time. For this reason, NOVA places no warranty on information provided in any of the courses. Always rely on current regulations for the most up to date information.

NOVA has approvals with several state and provincial authorities and is continually seeking or is in the process of gaining approval for more provincial and state authorities for additional courses. To see if your state or province has approved, please go to the course enrollment page, and click on your state or province on the provided map.  As stated above, the course CEU's may be eligable for other state/provincial award of CEU's, but it is the students responsiblity for submission to their state/provincial authority.
