In using this toolkit and working through your particular situation, there may emerge areas of concern or interest for which you would like more training for you or your staff. There are a range of possible training providers including: TAFE, Universities and research organisations, contacts listed in this toolkit, professional associations, and commercial organisations.

For technical and further education relevant to water quality management, TAFE provides courses such as Hydrology & Environmental Management, including topics such as project management, OH&S, statistics and sampling, instrumentation, and laboratory and field techniques.

If you are interested in formal tertiary education, a search of the University Admissions Centre (UAC) web page can provide details on courses and institutions.

The Cooperative Research Centres, such as the CRC for Water Quality and Treatment, also support education and training programmes.

Training associated with particular programs or protocols can be sought directly through the organisational contacts or their web pages. For example, training for community water quality monitoring is provided by Streamwatch staff who can assist in tailoring a program to local needs. The EPA Beachwatch Partnership Pilot Program provides training in monitoring and reporting of recreational water quality to local councils.

Professional organisations such as the Australian Water Association provide workshops, events and conferences throughout the year.

There are also many commercial organisations who sell or utilise monitoring instrumentation or technologies. Training is commonly provided for correct use of their commercial equipment.
