Professional development
Many of our 15-credit postgraduate modules may be studied to support your professional development. You need have no particular qualification to study in this way which can also provide an entry point for study towards one of our award-bearing courses at Certificate, Diploma or MSc level.
Professional development options may be the most suitable route of study for you if you are an experienced professional without a higher qualification seeking to enhance your career prospects.

Tailor-made courses for groups
Improving the coverage and sustainability of water supply and sanitation services requires high calibre technical and professional people. Improving the knowledge and skills of existing staff increases the capacity of the whole organisation to deliver corporate goals more effectively and efficiently.
Improving the skills of individuals also increases self-motivation and opens career pathways. Organisations that invest in the development of their human resources attract and retain better people, reducing administration and recurrent recruitment costs.
For these reasons, we have always adopted a flexible approach to the design of our in-country courses and see their design as a collaborative process. With you, we focus on solutions for your staff, helping to provide evidence-based answers to important questions about what to do and how to do it. Some of our training leads to internationally recognised qualifications whilst other are designed to provide career development pathways or improvements in specific knowledge and skills.
