Welcome to the Water Engineering Technology Level 6 course!
I am delighted to have you join us on this exciting journey of learning, discovery, and practical skills development.
Water is essential to life, and the knowledge and skills you will gain in this course will prepare you to play an important role in providing safe water, protecting the environment, and improving sanitation in our communities.
This course is designed to help you become a competent water engineering professional. You will learn how water supply systems are designed, constructed, operated, and maintained. You will also explore wastewater management, water quality testing, water conservation, engineering surveying, and the management of water losses.
The course follows a Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) approach, meaning that learning goes beyond theory. You will participate in practical activities, demonstrations, fieldwork, projects, and assessments that help you develop the skills needed in the workplace.
By the end of the course, you should be better prepared to work in water service providers, water treatment companies, water resources organizations, construction firms, and other institutions within the water sector.
