Exciting News!

The COWTI team is proud to announce that we have a year-round, heated field training shop near Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. We will be using this space to facilitate hands-on skills development for onsite wastewater practitioners. One of the programs running out of the field shop will be the 3 day practical component that goes hand-in-hand with the online component of our Full Training Program for Certified Installers in Alberta (CoC). Check out the video below for a sample of what you will be building and learning in the shop space!

 

We have also been busy building a Soils Training Facility near Leduc, Alberta. This facility will be part of our field training component for the Alberta certification program for onsite wastewater system installers/designers (we call them practitioners!). Here, each learner will get a chance to apply the theory of soil assessment to a soil wall. Learners will identify soil horizons, assess texture, determine soil structure and soil grade. These real-world details will then be used to create a system design for a practice site.

We are also excited to welcome our first batch of learners to commence Units 1 -3 on the online system! Contact Michelle at 1 888 729 5139 if this is something that interests you. We've been working hard with 2 wonderful animators to bring the world of septic systems to life for our learners. Check out the animation of a "basic" septic system below:
