Project, asset management and Call Centre staff who want a basic operational knowledge of these water services would benefit greatly from this course.
The attached 'List of Sessions' for the three hour course identifies the topics covered.
For Chartered Engineers the training can be claimed as CPD with Engineering NZ (and other international equivalents).
The course is held 'at least' six monthly (in April and November each year).
