Industry studies have shown employee-training budgets for most water and
wastewater utilities are tighter than ever. Web-based operator
certification and license renewal training provides employers and their
employees the flexibility to take training courses at their own pace
without the hassle and cost of attending live classes. Studies show
online training can be as effective as, or even more effective than,
live classroom instruction, correspondence or CD-ROM-based courses.
Plus, online training is more convenient, less expensive and easier to
manage.
No Travel Cost
Water and wastewater utilities can save a significant amount
of money using e-Learning versus having employees travel great distances
in order to attend instructor-led classroom training. Just think of the
time and money that can be saved by not having the expense of a hotel,
meals, and the lost productivity of your employee’s time.
Convenience of Anytime, Anywhere Training
Students can log onto e-Learning courses at home or office,
day or night. In order to access e-Learning, all you will need is a
computer with a 56k or better Internet connection.
Self-Paced Lessons
Students move through the e-Learning courses at their own pace. A
quiz at the end of most modules reinforces the student’s knowledge of
the subject matter. Students who master 70 percent of the material in
each module will advance to the next. The e-Learning system allows a
student to exit and return to the course at any time.
Easy to Use
e-Learning courseware is very user-friendly and is designed to keep the
attention of the student through the use of charts, graphs, and other
interactive technology.
Variety of Courses Available
Water and wastewater operators registering for e-Learning courses will
have a menu of courses from which to choose. We are constantly adding
and updating courseware to reflect changing industry needs and
regulations.
Automated Course Tracking
Automated tracking of student progress and completion of classes is easy
to access and manage. Information is readily available to the student
or employers and customized reports can be printed.
