TOWA’s Online Learning Academy – Partnership with NOWRA
New! A Convenient New Option to Get the Continuing Education You Need
Whether you are new to the onsite/decentralized industry or continuing your professional development, you have come to the right place! These presentations are recaps of our Annual Conference held each year in Waco and we have plans to upload many more hours to the site. TOWA’s new Online Learning Academy is being hosted by NOWRA, the National Onsite Wastewater Association, of which, TOWA is an affiliate. Their offerings cover the fundamentals of the profession as well as advanced training in multiple topics, which you may take, but please be careful to only take topics with the TOWA logo if you need TCEQ approved CEU’s for a Texas OSSF license renewal.
We initially have 9 one-hour training courses and 1 two-hour course being offered for a total of 11 hours available from the 2017-2020 annual conferences. TOWA plans to add more courses in the near future, and we expect to have as many as 60 hours available within the next few months.
TOWA has been approved by the TCEQ to deliver this online learning, which is made up from the 18-20 hours of offerings we have at our annual conferences.
TOWA Members Save Big!
Courses are $40 per credit hour but TOWA members can take them at a discounted rate of $25. If you are not already one, you can become a member of TOWA by clicking here. We plan to offer “bundles” of 8 hours that are specific Installers, Maintenance Providers, D.R.’s and Designers with additional savings after TCEQ format approval is granted.
How it Works
The training materials themselves are high-quality methods of connecting via varied formats including audio-guided PowerPoint presentations, videos, technical documents and internet links to associated materials. You can set your own pace for the training as you earn CEUs from the comfort of your home or office without added travel expenses, any time, day or night. Please note that the hours shown in the course descriptions refer to the number of continuing education credits you can earn, not the time it takes you to complete the course. Since the pace at which people learn is different for everyone, the time it takes to complete a course may be different than the credit hours shown.
Signing up is easy! Just go to https://www.pathlms.com/nowra/categories/2023/courses create an account and start accessing online course content from experts in our industry, immediately. Upon completion of a course, simply complete a brief online assessment and receive a digital certificate that you can print for your records. Online and telephone customer service & support is available to answer questions from 8am to 8 pm, 7 days a week. Your educational viewing activity is automatically saved on your account so you can access it whenever you want to do so. It’s education when you want it, where you want it! You can take these classes on Desktops, Laptops, Tablets and browser-enabled iPhones and Android Devices.

TOWA’s Basic Maintenance Provider (BMP) and Advanced Maintenance Provider (AMP) Courses
TOWA is the sole provider of the Advanced Maintenance Provider Course and the Basic Maintenance Provider Course in the State of Texas. Calendar of Classes
The Basic Maintenance Provider course is designed specifically for the (Maintenance Technician) who is required to work under a licensed maintenance provider, but also taken by real estate inspectors for the Certificate as an added level of knowledge above what is offered anywhere else for OSSF inspections. Homeowners also take the class where owners are allowed to do their own maintenance in (counties or river authorities) that require perpetual maintenance by a licensed maintenance provider.
We hold both of these courses every few months. We also teach a wide variety of CEU topics at our annual conference and at each of our Local Chapter Meetings.
For upcoming class dates and registration, please go to our Calendar of Classes page.
High Strength Wastewater Course
The next course will be offered during the 2025 TOWA Annual Conference in Galveston, Texas on March 17-19, 2025.
