Many of our users are licensed in several states. Pick a single state and single license number when completing courses. Send your completion certificates to each other state you are licensed in with a simple cover letter giving your license number for the state you are submitting to. We have given this advice for many years and have never had a refusal from any state.

Each state has its own licensing requirements for drillers & installers. However all states require a period of time in the industry prior to licensing, often 12-24 months.

A licensing examination is required after the time-in-the-industry requirement has been satisfied. Some states require that during your time in the industry, you must document that you have gained certain fundamental drilling or pump installation experiences. This documentation may be in the form of well completion certificates or other acceptable verification.

All states requiring licensing for well drillers &/or pump installers have license preparation information available. Search your state's website or contact them by email, mail, or phone/fax and they'll be glad to help.

The well drilling/pump installation industry is constantly looking for new employees. The industry is unknown to many and so excellent employment possibilities often go unfilled.

It is absolutely fact that careers in the well drilling and pump installing industry, offering a solid future, are waiting for good people. Probably very close to where you are living now, or where you want to live, there are openings waiting for good people. How do you find them? Check with the Well Drilling and Pump Installing businesses in the area where you want to work.

If any state refuses to accept credit for any of our online CE courses, we will gladly refund the purchase.

We make this promise because we have seldom, if ever, had any course refused.

Pick the state you do most work in and enter that state when using our online courses.

Send copies of your completion certificates to all states you are licensed in along with a cover letter

giving your license number for that state.

We have not had any push-back from states when using this approach.
