"I had always been a bit skeptical about online courses, but my experience with this course proved me wrong. This was the course I had been waiting for several years to improve my knowledge of the latest techniques for water treatment. The course provided a unique combination of scientific knowledge, virtual practice and appropriate techniques to design a water treatment system."
