FEB 2024 Can you explain how I use the Water Treatment Pathway of Development?
Yes, we can.
Rev: WTPD
The first thing to note is the Water Treatment Pathway of Development has 2 pathways.
1. DLC Pathway (following the blue arrows on the left) and
CSA Water Treatment Pathway of Development 2. Academic Pathway (following the orange arrows on the right).
Those with related academic experience (City & Guilds/HNC/ONC/NVQ in building services)
Management progress via Management Pathway of Development
should choose the Academic pathway, those without should choose the DLC pathway.
