FAQs
How is the course delivered?
This course is split up into 3 parts. Theory, practical, and assessment. This is an in-person, classroom-based course.
Our WJA-qualified trainer/coach delivers the theory elements of the course on a modular basis for Safety Awareness (Day 1) and Surface Preparation (Day 2), where candidates are assessed throughout the day using the Clickapad system. Candidates are required to obtain a 75% pass mark and above in relation to the assessments for safety awareness and surface preparation.
On completion of the theory on Day 2, our trainer/coach carries out a practical demonstration on the safe use and operation of water jetting units and associated equipment. This is followed by each candidate being observed by our trainer/coach carrying out water jetting operations, inclusive of the use of a jetting lance for surface preparation.
Candidates will complete the practical elements in our purpose-built high pressure water jetting external skills academy, or at an appropriate area at an external employer's site.
Upon successful completion of the course, candidates will be registered with the Water Jetting Association, where registrations are valid for 3 years. Candidates will be issued with a Virtual WJA card and certificate. Physical cards can be provided upon request.
