Strong demand for wastewater treatment training: 10 new course groups

On September 1st, 2025, World Water Academy kicked off the new academic year 2025–2026. In the Netherlands, interest in wastewater treatment is booming: our courses Wastewater Treatment Technology and Advanced Wastewater Treatment Technology together account for 10 new course groups.

This surge reflects the sector’s growing challenges—more complex and urgent than ever—recognized by both motivated participants and their employers.

Wastewater Treatment Technology

The foundational course is starting with three regular groups in the cities Breda, Utrecht, and Zwolle. In addition, Water Authority Limburg is hosting its own dedicated in-company program.

Advanced Wastewater Treatment Technology

The follow-up course has proven even more popular. Of the six groups starting this season, two are being delivered on-site at Evides and one at Water Authority Vallei and Veluwe.

Impact on the sector

Together, these courses deliver a substantial knowledge boost for the Dutch water sector:

• More expertise on the work floor
• Active exchange of real-world case studies
• Long-term investment in safeguarding water quality
