Operator On-site Training

The on-site training component of the OETC Section provides a unique approach to operator training and is the first of its kind in Canada. Through the use of 3 Mobile Training Units (MTUs), equipped with various water system tools and appurtenances, operators are trained in their own community without having to compromise their operating water systems. On-site training sessions are scheduled individually based on current curriculum or operator demand.

Mobile Training Units (MTUs)

The MTUs were specifically designed to bring total mobility to the on-site training program and increase the program’s accessibility for operators. These specialized training vehicles are equipped with a variety of tools and equipment common to municipal drinking water system operations.
