The Water Regulation Practitioner course prepares learners to play a vital role in protecting South Africa’s water resources by applying and enforcing regulatory frameworks that govern water quality, use, and infrastructure. This qualification equips students with a strong foundation in water law, compliance monitoring, authorisation processes, and environmental protection principles to support sustainable water resource management.
Learners will gain the skills to generate reliable and updated water quality reports, conduct field inspections and audits, and assess applications for water use authorisations and permits. The course also builds the ability to interpret legal and technical information, apply regulatory tools, and collaborate effectively with stakeholders across the water management sector.
With a focus on real-world application, students will learn to monitor adherence to environmental regulations, support enforcement actions, and foster strong professional relationships with water users, regulatory bodies, and affected communities. This programme is ideal for individuals working in regulatory agencies, catchment management authorities, local government, or water utilities, and who are committed to safeguarding water resources through informed and responsible oversight.
