Environmental Training Center

The Environmental Training Center at the Red Rocks Community College campus in Lakewood is one of only 12 centers in the country where students can acquire the knowledge and skills needed to develop a career in environmental technology.

The center is also the home of the only Water Quality Management Technology degree program in Colorado.

The center has a complete water chemistry laboratory with instruments for analysis of inorganic chemicals, bacteria, water properties and all water constituents. By producing chemical reagents, titrants and nutrients, the student can learn the entire laboratory function, from preparation and analysis to reporting.

At our backflow prevention testing laboratory you can learn hands-on skills and acquire proper certification in the field of cross-connection control. You will repair, test or replace each type of backflow prevention device.

Two comfortable classrooms equipped with audiovisual aids are used for instruction. In addition, a complete resource library is available, with research material covering all aspects of the water and wastewater industry.

Instruction

The Environmental Training Center carefully selects instructors for their areas of expertise. Each instructor selected for your education brings the highest level of working knowledge to the program. They work in the field and can discuss variables and circumstances that present problems in daily operations.
