Train-the-Trainer

"Train-the-Trainer" is a concept designed by the Sandia National Laboratories with American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the American Water Works Association Research Foundation (AwwaRF) to allow other professional trainers to begin offering this course throughout the United States. The goal of the program is to provide certified trainers who will be available to consultants, water utilities, and government/tribal entities to support the EPA's objective of having vulnerability assessments conducted at water utilities.
