We are a leading provider of apprenticeships, qualification programmes and technical training to the UK water sector
About us
Watertrain, an RSK Group company, sees its role as helping employers find effective solutions to immediate training needs and longer term staff development – whether through apprenticeships, qualification programmes or bespoke training interventions. As the leading provider of apprenticeships and other qualifications to the water utility sector since 2007, we are experts in the development of nationally accredited qualifications that have been designed and written following consultation with sector employers to ensure that the resultant qualification is fit for purpose and meets their organisational needs. In conjunction with CABWI, the awarding body for the water and utilities sectors, Watertrain developed the Level 4 Diploma in Water Industry Operations and Management. This provides an excellent grounding for graduate entrants to the sector, as well as an effective progression route for individuals in their first line management role and need to gain more knowledge and understanding at a higher and wider level. Watertrain has also developed, again in conjunction with CABWI and wide consultation with employers, 5 Level 3 Diploma qualifications. These Diplomas map to the Water Process Technician Apprenticeship Standard and will soon be available to the support the new Level 3 Standards – Treatment Process Technician and Network Technician. Watertrain additionally has an excellent competency assessment tool, OCG, that can help identify current weaknesses in the level of knowledge being applied by operational teams across organisations. This assessment process provides a very effective training needs analysis, which then optimises budget spend and targets training interventions. Visit www.watertrain.co.uk to learn more about us.
