How to Register
Payment must be received at the time of registration. Credit card, check and employer purchase orders are accepted.

  • Online: (for non-credit courses only) Register and Pay online

  • By Phone: Call 1-800-478-6653 and ask for extension 7762 (Tiffany) or 7733 (Jill) or call direct 907-747-7762. Provide registration and payment information (payment can be made by credit card, check or purchase order).

  • If you are not in the University of Alaska system, you will need to provide your social security number. The University of Alaska is required to collect a valid social security number (SSN) from each student for tax, employment, and Federal financial aid purposes. As an eligible educational institution we must obtain your SSN to file informational returns with the IRS and to furnish a statement to you. To protect your privacy, the University of Alaska will assign you a student ID number that is different from your SSN. Your student ID number, rather than your SSN, will be used to identify your educational records.

Intended Audience
Professional development of our water professionals is essential to capacity development and sustainability of our nation's infrastructure. ATTAC's mission is to provide professional training for new operators and continuing education and skill development for existing small system operators. Our web-based courses provide access for those in rural areas where in-residence training is not available, and small system operators everywhere who desire the convenience of training available on their schedule. Our courses were developed for the small system operators who want training tools that are visual and interactive and relevant to the job they are doing.

Cancellations/Refunds
You will not receive a refund once you begin a course or if you do not begin a course after 14 days of receiving your enrollment email. If ATTAC cancels a course, you will be notified and refunded 100% of your fees.

Course Time-frame
You have three months (90 days) to complete a course.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
CEUs are currently approved in the State of Alaska.

Certificate of Completion
A certificate of completion will be issued upon successful completion of a course. Students must receive an overall score of 85% or better in order to pass a course (Small Treated and Small Untreated require 100%).

Reimbursement
If you are a certified water or wastewater operator in Alaska, you may be eligible for reimbursement by the DEC Operator Training and Certification Program. More information...
