Water Sampling Digital Badge

Our new Water Sampling 101 digital badge, developed in collaboration with Watercare, takes field operators through the basics of water sampling for drinking water, wastewater and stormwater with some additional information on environmental sampling. Similar to our other digital badges, the content is both video and text based and is planned to take around 4-6 hours to complete over a 4 week period at times that suit you.

The badge covers an introduction to pathogens and why sampling is important, example sampling protocols as well as information on health and safety considerations. On completion the learner is provided with a digital badge of their learning.

The Sampling 101 digital badge is a fully online course designed to assist you with a basic understanding of sampling and the processes involved.

By the end of this course you will:

The course has been structured into a combination of reading, videos, resources and activities which should take 4 - 6 hours for you to complete and you can spread those hours over a 4 week period, as and when it suits your schedule.
