How do I get my training certificate?

Once you have watched the video(s) or attended the webinar, you will receive an ackowledgement of training. Individuals watching the water loss auditor training video will receive instructions on how to download, save, and print an acknowledgement of training completion. Individuals attending the webinar will be emailed the acknowledgement of training completion.

Individuals must maintain the acknowledgement of training in their personal records and upload it to the water loss audit every year you are submitting an audit. TWDB will NOT maintain these records but will verify that the individual has received training by viewing the acknowledgement attached to the water loss audit. The name on the acknowledgement must match the name of the individual completing the water loss audit.
