Training & e-Learning

INITIAL LEARNING (i)

Initial learning presents the minimum knowledge for new technical personnel that attend Wastewater Treatment Processes and Technology.

Initial learning, is suitable for operators, technicians, scientists and managers that are interested to engage with process and technology knowledge on a more in-depth level.

Approaching the process with an Applied Chemistry perspective.

Applied chemistry considerations will introduce the techniques that may effectively resolve the difference in actual performance of a system, as opposed to the expected proposed outcomes, generated for engineering texts and academic learning courses.

Because the conditions in an in-service wastewater process are much different than research and restricted systems used to develop background knowledge, new starters and non-technical personnel are often overwhelmed with the misunderstood principles, that cannot be applied to the active process. 

To elucidate the chemistry that apply to the current state of a process, takes substantial background knowledge, skills with interpreting data, and ability to imagine abstract chemistry from the aforementioned.

The technical learning is developed specifically for the UK Wastewater Treatment sector, and approach the process with inclusion of the necessary applied chemistry skills needed, to effectively problem solve on process technology. 

Which training is suitable for you

There are several institutions in the UK that offer training courses that range between just a couple of contact hours, to two/three-year apprentice and diploma training. All these courses are aimed at training individuals from diverse backgrounds and only to a minimum entry level standard.

In order to effectively problem solve, design and optimise Wastewater Treatment technologies and processes, in-depth knowledge of the natural science disciplines chemistry, biochemistry and microbiology is required, as they make up 95% of the skills needed. Further to that, an aptitude for mathematics and statistics and a desire to engage with complex problem solving in applied chemistry, are good attributes to achieve performance goals.

Wastewater process science is an applied chemistry discipline, and it is for this reason that practical skills training and on-site training are most effective, especially for the Initial learning level. In modern times Environmental Chemistry and Nature Based Solutions define the discipline and technology integration, of Wastewater Treatment Processes and Technology.
