The Level 5 Certificate in the Management of Wastewater Networks

We have worked with Learning and Development Associates on the development and delivery of three of the Level 5 qualifications in Water and Wastewater since 2018 as well as other projects.

All members of the Learning and Development Associates family have extensive expertise and a firm commitment to quality resulting in the design and continued delivery of these qualifications.

From initial concept alongside our subject matter experts within the business, through to delivery, Glenn, Denise and Learning and Development Associates trainers and experts have brought a clear vision, and a strong understanding of both technical content and educational design.

These qualifications have made, and continue to make a significant impact within Thames Water – equipping our front line managers and professionals with the advanced knowledge required to meet our current environmental and operational challenges.

It has been and continues to be a pleasure to work with Learning and Development Associates and we would highly recommend them to any organization looking to elevate professional standards through high-quality learning solutions.

The Level 5 Certificate in Managing Developer Services for the Water and Environmental Industries

We have worked with Learning and Development Associates (L&DA) as our training and development partner over the last twelve months for specialist, technical training in the field of Developer Services Management.

Through discussions with L&DA, we contextualised the existing Level 5 DSM award qualification to suit the needs of Anglian Water for the delivery of a training programme comprising of a series of 3 workshops to 11 candidates.

We have found that L&DA take time to listen to our requirements fully, research Anglian Water policies, and deliver the training clearly, involving all of the learners who following the training go forward to take the Level 5 qualification. Feedback from the learners has been very positive, with all attendees feeling that they gained confidence from the experience. To date we have successfully qualified 10 members of the group and a number of those learners have gone on the take the L5 DSM certificate.
