Skills Upgrading Courses
Short courses that upgrade the skills of people already working in the water sector.
We also offer skills upgrading in the same trades, mainly for employees with limited knowledge and experience who want to improve their skills in their field of work.
Every year in the first or second week of October we advertise new enrolment in newspapers such as The Namibian, New Era and Die Republikein. Application forms for full-time and skills upgrading courses are available on our website.
