Keith is very friendly knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning about the history of the Water industry and learning about water treatment (October 2022)
I really enjoyed learning about the treatment processes and how they work etc. Having the in person sessions was great and it was so nice to have a trainer that has worked within the water industry and had so much knowledge and experiences to share (November 2022)
The training i found most helpful was the water and wastewater treatment, water. I work in drainage so it was good to learn about other areas of the water industry (November 2022)
The first day around legislation and learning about the water act (November 2022)
Hydraulics was the most helpful training activity (November 2022)
Our tutor ‘J’s’ explanations of the process were brilliant and splitting off into different groups and coming back together regarding various topics allowed everyone to detail and explain there different process (October 2022)
I enjoyed the bio filtration lesions and how the different bacteria are grown (November 2022)
The DWF calculation flow was interesting. This is the reasoning behind the values given for our FFT (November 2022)
i will be using everything I have learned (November 2022)
The tutor ‘J’ is a wealth of information and knowledge and I very much enjoying learning from him. Thank you J! (October 2022)
From the course i feel i have further understanding of the Sewage process (November 2022)
I learned a lot about how we are regulated, this was helpful being new to the company. I better understand activated sludge, for example, I learned that proper mixing of RAS and settled sewage will promote the forming of floc bacteria over filamentous bacteria, and I will remember this using the thin dog fat dog analogy. I also learned about fixed film biological treatment which I had no previous experience with (November 2022)
I found all training useful to reinforce existing knowledge. Areas where I acquired new knowledge included in depth discussion on the role of anoxic lanes as well as insight into trade effluent procedures. I also thought the workbooks requiring us to look at multiple types of different processes (e.g. tertiary treatment) made me look at processes I wasn’t previously familiar, therefore expanding my knowledge of treatment process options (November 2022)
I found the hydraulics module most useful, but also the hardest (June 22)
A good standard of instruction from experienced professionals. It was also very interesting to learn about the wider water industry in the UK (June 22)
As an auditor, I need to be able to have a clear understanding of all the processes. I feel that I have improved my understanding of regulation, clarification, climate change and abstraction which are all very important things in my line of work (October 2022)
I have achieved a greater understanding of the various stages in the water treatment process and how the relevant regulations impact the way we treat water (October 2022)
I really found the clarification training to be very helpful for me because it was a hands on experience and Steve did an amazing job at breaking the individual parts of a DAF down. Overall, this was an area that I needed to improve my knowledge on and I feel I have a better understand of the process (October 2022)
I have a better understanding of resilience and feel this will be very helpful for my job (October 2022)
‘S’ is an amazing instructor and I highly recommend his teaching for further classes (October 2022)
Really enjoyed the week. Best training I’ve had in my 11 years at my company (October 2022)
