Introduction to the Program

This Postgraduate certificate will contribute to your professional growth and positioning in a sector that is currently booming"

Drinking water supply involves collecting the liquid and transporting it to the point where it is consumed in optimum conditions. In order for water to be fit for consumption, it must not only meet sanitary requirements, but also quality requirements. Accordingly, professionals in Hydraulic Engineering have set themselves the task of creating methods to ensure that drinking water reaches rural areas and areas farther away from urban areas that do not have a proper distribution system. This can be achieved by determining the general design aspects of a supply system.

Therefore, research, tests and studies have advanced, solving some obstacles and leaving some others in question. For this reason, the professionals in this field of study must be up to date with updates on the sector to be addressed. Thus, this Postgraduate certificate will provide the graduates with knowledge and innovative tools on the design of water supply networks and the deepening of the different alternatives for the selection of collection and/or purification systems.

The students will strengthen his skills in different areas related to the approach of solutions for the implementation, maintenance and operation of water supply systems. On the other hand, this program integrates a specialized and highly experienced teaching team, in addition to having the support of high quality multimedia content and a load of 150 hours that you can distribute in any way to present your sessions at any time.

In this way, TECH coordinates efficiency and excellence in the best way, so this program offers the most complete and first level update, positioning its students with the best academic standards at the end of the course. The students will only need an electronic device with good Internet coverage and thus, will easily access the virtual platform from the comfort of the place where they are.

Stand out in sector with enormous potential and become a part of of efficiency and the global change based on excellence"
