Contact the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality to schedule training. A basic license requires 12 hours of training. The ADEQ helpline number is 501-683-0923. You also can visit the ADEQ website for more information.
Sign up for the licensing test after the training has been completed. The course and test schedule are available on the ADEQ website. As of 2011, the fee for the test is $40. If you don't pass the test on the first try, additional tests are $20. The failed exam can be retaken after three months.
Keep your license current by completing 24 hours of training and renewing your license every two years. To get a more advanced license, you must complete additional hours of training. For example, the advanced Industrial Wastewater License requires 24 hours of training and an additional exam.
