The 2019 program request for proposals has been released. We are soliciting qualified applicants interested in partnering with the state to provide these training sessions. This RFP is open to teachers, trainers, and subject matter experts to receive grants to fund regulations training for target audiences on Colorado drinking water regulations.
Training curriculum must incorporate and teach to content provided by our department. Specific regulatory topics include: - Cross connection control.

e-Learning water and wastewater training for certification applicants
This second request for proposals is to solicit qualified applicants interested in developing and hosting a water and a wastewater comprehensive regulations e-learning training course - available free of charge to all certification applicants.
