The utility locator certification course was developed at the request of One-Call of Wyoming. One-Call of Wyoming helped to fund Casper College to develop a utility locator certification course to train and certify utility locators in Wyoming.The utility locator certification course is designed to train and certify utility locators on the basic methods for locating and verifying underground utility lines. There are three parts to the course:• lecture• lab• certification.The utility locator certification course is offered either in the classroom or as a hybrid online class. Students who successfully complete the course will receive a certificate of locating competency from our program partner Staking University, a nationally recognized underground utility locator certification training center.

Classroom Course
The classroom course is a five-day course, four days for lecture and labs, and one day for certification testing. The lecture portion consists of theory and practical field demonstrations. The lab portion consist of students using locating equipment to locate utility lines on the Casper College campus. The fifth day of the course will be for certification testing. Each class will be limited to 10 students to allow for quality instructor/student interaction. The classroom course will be offered in both a weeklong format as well as a three-day and then a two-day format a week apart. Click here for more information.
