RemSoc is interested in evaluating both the current offerings for continuous professional development within the UK and the appetite of our membership and the businesses for whom they work for such training provisions.  Our emphasis for the moment is on short courses of a few hours to 2, 3 or more days, online or classroom based.  The primary emphasis is, of course, training relevant to Remediation Practitioners and, where possible, suitable accreditation / endorsements from relevant institutes. 
 
We have prepared a few simple questions to help us in the process.    
 
The following questions are focussed on training appropriate to remediation practitioners.  Categories for such training could include: 
 
  • Cores subjects such as modelling, risk assessments, groundwater, geology, lab analysis, logging, sampling etc. 
  • Remediation Specific such as: Technologies, Waste Management, Sustainability, Permitting 
  • Process and In-situ based remediation such as: Process safety risk, in-situ and ex-situ treatment technologies, 
  • Project Management Skills 
  • Remediation specific H&S

Some of these topics overlap so the focus is not so much on the category as the kind of training which either is, or is not, readily available.

For the avoidance of any doubt, all submissions are received anonymously.
