I would highly advise that you start compiling other reference material in addition to taking Joe's course. The course will help educate you in some of the things to consider when doing water sampling, but it is not an all inclusive definative guide to the subject. It will provide you with the basic information to learn how to do specific searches for information when you don't know the answer.

I have a lot of information in PDF files that I have compiled in addition to taking Joe's course that helped me understand and communicate the importance of doing water quality sampling. I would suggest taking the CD course if you can't make it to one of his classes. At the very minimum, it will let you know right away if it is something that you want to get involved in offering to your clients.

Thanks Scott, would you please PM me with maybe some prices you charge, if you don't mind that is. I promise to keep them confidential. Ken

Can anyone recommend a Certification course on water quality, besides Joe Farsetta's, please? Thanks, Ken

Look into joining the Water Quality Association. They have a couple of certifications, mostly geared towards water filtration salesmen, but they have a certification for general water quality. The course does not deal with anything related to wells, only water quality and knowing what tests to run and understanding what they tell you.
