Grades I - V / All Classes Wastewater Exam Study Guide Bundle

This bundle is the complete path, from your first certification to your last.

Three study guides, 168 lessons across 45 modules and [X] pages, covering every California wastewater treatment plant operator exam: Grades I and II, Grade III, and Grades IV and V. Written for California, but most of the material is process fundamentals that apply anywhere, so operators in other states will find these work directly for Class C, Class B and Class A exams.

Each guide is built the same way, from CCR Title 23 §3701 and the State Water Board's own exam information sheets, plus fifteen years of running plants. Every lesson gives you the concept, the worked math, the troubleshooting logic, and exam-style practice questions with full answers. QR codes throughout link straight to the video where I work the problem or walk the process at my plant.

Buying them together gets you something the individual guides can't: one voice and one method the whole way up. The same troubleshooting logic you learn at Grade I is the logic you use at Grade V, just applied to harder plants. Nothing repeats itself unnecessarily, and nothing is missing between levels, because each guide picks up exactly where the last one leaves off. Grades I and II builds the foundation: safety, sampling, the collection system, preliminary and primary treatment, and your first activated sludge process control. Grade III takes you to journey level with nitrification, solids handling and digestion, and the math getting longer. Grades IV and V adds what the regulation adds at the top: tertiary treatment, water reuse and Title 22, and the supervision and management side, energy, safety programs, operator training and budget.

Anybody who purchases this bundle will get future versions of all three guides for free! Future versions will have updated QR codes when new videos are released and any corrections, edits, or regulatory updates. Happy studying!
