## Questions

### Does this course qualify me to test or repair backflow assemblies?

No. It provides buyer education and a certificate of completion from backflowtesters.fyi. Check the local authority for accepted testing credentials and the permissions required for the work.

### Do the local examples apply everywhere?

No. Confirm schedules, deadlines, hazard decisions, approvals and reporting requirements with the responsible local water supplier and plumbing authority.
