Water Awareness and Charge Certificate Validity Period
The Gauteng Region’s Water Affairs Committee has taken the decision that Water Awareness and Charge Certificates automatically expire 5 years after completing the relevant course. Licenses can, however, be renewed in two ways:
- Individuals can attend the relevant course again; or
- Individuals can follow the continuous certification program as outlined in Module 70.
For more information regarding the continuous certification program please refer to Module 70 v1.0.
