Online Course – We are excited to offer our very popular OBC Part 8 Sewage Installers Course – ONLINE. It is a 5 day course, which runs daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Cost is $757.10 (670 + HST). The ORWC supplemental manual is included in this fee. This ORWC course is a preparatory course which reviews the curriculum set out by the Province. We review the 2012 Onsite Sewage System Workbook (Participant) and bring field expertise to the table. The 2012 Onsite Sewage System Participant Manual is required for the course and can be purchased through George Brown College, or through the ORWC on the registration form. Our course has been adapted to provide in depth information online with an ‘in-class’ experience.
