What to Bring

To make the most of this training, please bring the following:

  • Fully Charged Mobile Phone: As we'll be downloading nine helpful app calculators via QR codes displayed throughout the two-day workshop, please ensure your phone is fully charged and able to scan QR codes (usually through your camera app).

  • Optional Note-Taking Materials: While you're welcome to bring a notepad and pen, we've found that focusing on the screen and engaging with the material is more beneficial than taking extensive notes.

  • Digital Notes Provided: Comprehensive PDF notes covering everything presented on screen will be emailed to you after the course, along with a link to download them from Dropbox. Please download these files promptly, as they will be available for two weeks following the course.

  • Your Questions: We encourage active participation and discussion, so please come prepared with any questions you have about water and wastewater systems.

Great stuff Robert Welke! You are very experienced and a great teacher. In addition, a fantastic course, the software you provided us gets to the point and it is user friendly. I certainly feel more empowered for sustainability.
