Wastewater Treatment

Correct sampling practices are essential for accurate knowledge and quality control. The WSP Environmental Training Centre delivers a Wastewater Sampling and testing course to demonstrate the principles and practices behind collecting and transporting representative samples for testing.

Principles and Trends - Wastewater Treatment is a classroom based course developed for those interested in wastewater treatment. Over four busy days experts from WSP cover core wastewater treatment science and processes, and recent changes to legislation, illustrated by visits to operating treatment plants. This course finishes at 12.00pm on the last day.

This Micro credential is made up of two courses which each include online learning sessions, a 2 day face to face block course and assessment. To be able to complete this programme you need to be working within the Water Industry.

Waste Stabilisation Ponds remain the most common form of wastewater treatment in New Zealand. However, entry-level training for operators of Waste Stabilisation Ponds ended with significant changes to New Zealand Wastewater qualifications in 2019. WSP has recognised the need for qualification-based training by developing the new Certificate in Waste Stabilisation Ponds (Micro-credential), Level 3, 20 credits.

The Certificate in applying Risk Management to Wastewater Treatment Management (Micro-credential) Level 5 is a classroom based course designed for those interested in wastewater treatment. To the existing Principles and Trends course it adds a case study and assessment which enables the Micro-credential to be awarded on successful completion of both.
