The Borehole Pump Operator course is designed to equip learners with the essential skills and knowledge to operate and maintain groundwater abstraction systems. This practical, hands-on programme prepares students to manage borehole pump operations that supply water to treatment facilities, reservoirs, and end-users in residential, commercial, and industrial contexts.
Learners will gain the ability to prepare, operate, inspect, and maintain borehole pumps and related equipment in accordance with safety protocols and industry best practices. The course also trains students to monitor system performance, carry out basic maintenance, and perform troubleshooting to ensure continuous and efficient water supply from underground sources.
In addition to technical competencies, learners will develop stakeholder engagement and communication skills—vital for collaborating with team members, supervisors, and community stakeholders to maintain service quality and trust. This course is ideal for individuals working in rural water supply, municipal services, or agricultural operations who are responsible for operating and maintaining borehole systems for safe water delivery.
Graduates of this programme will be equipped to support sustainable groundwater use and contribute to the effective management of critical water infrastructure.
