Training Courses

Below are just a few of the specialist ‘continuing professional development’ water and wastewater treatment courses we offer.

All our courses are modular so we can also design a completely bespoke package to suit your training needs and budget. Courses are led by Simon Judd and can be delivered at your own location. Please contact us to discuss your requirements or if you would like to book a course. You can also read testimonials about our services.

Delegates can be individually issued with a pdf certificate of course completion, digitally signed by the course leader. Although we cannot guarantee acceptance, you may be able to submit this certificate to your State Water Environment Association for continuing professional development accreditation purposes.

A practical guide to MBRs − getting them going, keeping them running

'A practical guide to MBRs − getting them going, keeping them running' is delivered online and draws on the 25 years of specialist knowledge of the subject from the course tutor, Simon Judd. The four-hour course focuses on the basics of membrane bioreactor technology, emphasising the real-world elements. It includes a tutorial where delegates can individually tackle a design problem, as well as an interactive exercise and an extended Q&A session.

Cost, risk and life cycle analysis (membrane technology)

​In this course, you will learn about the methods used in the water industry to assess cost, risk and environmental impact. The course is suitable for delegates with no prior knowledge of the topics and provides an understanding of the individual methodologies and how they are applied.
