Correspondence courses have been designed for those operators who cannot attend classroom sessions. Registrants will receive a training manual/reference book/video/DVD's and workbook with review lessons that must be mailed back for marking. Certain items of course material must be returned. Applicants will be advised which material is on loan and which they may keep. Once all the lessons have been completed, mailed in, and marked by an authorized person, a date can be set up with the operator's supervisor to write the final course completion exam. This is arranged with the AWWOA training course registrar. Upon receiving a passing grade (70%), the operator will be notified and a course completion certificate mailed.
Registering for correspondence courses will be accepted year round. A registrant must complete the correspondence course within one year of receiving the course material. To apply for correspondence courses, please complete the application form - use a different form for each person registering.

All lessons are personally marked by the operator. To receive CEU credits for the homestudy course, an operator must pass a supervised course completion exam which must be arranged through the AWWOA training course registrar.
