Thanks Barb question #5 was beneficial
Bob,
Thank you for contacting Wastewater 101. We are located in Indiana, however I was able to find a useful link for you to follow. This link is for the Florida State exam Handbook that has information you need to know including how many hours (as well as what kind of courses) you need for each level. Follow this link: https://floridadep.gov/water/certification-restoration/documents/certification-handbook
Hope it helps.
