This course offers the introductory concepts that are important to ensure Qualified Persons (QP) have the appropriate skills and knowledge necessary to assist in the continued growth and resiliency of the agricultural sector. During the Intro QP Training course, attendees will learn about Water Security Agency’s Agricultural Water Management Strategy, the role, and functions of a QP and the drainage approval process. This course also teaches how to prepare the plans, how to fill in the drainage application, and a bit about climate change and how drainage works need to be designed to be resilient to climate change.

If you haven’t taken the Introductory QP course since 2020, we encourage you to retake the course, as new information has been added.

This course will be delivered in a blended format, starting with self-paced online study on the user-friendly platform Brightspace, including an opportunity to join a virtual tutorial session with the instructor. Students must also complete one of the hands-on field training sessions.

Delivering some online theory and knowledge testing coupled with the hands-on training, will prepare Qualified Person (QP) students for their Capstone Drainage Project as the final portion of their accreditation.

The dates listed below represent the face-to-face field training portion of the course. The Self Study online portion will begin when registration occurs. Should the minimum field day participant number requirement not be met, participants can choose another field day to attend. PLEASE NOTE: This is an intense online course. Students will need to spend a considerable amount of time working through the content. 

Participants who successfully complete both the online and in-field training will be awarded WSA QP certification. Full QP Accreditation will be awarded by Water Security Agency upon the successful completion of the Capstone Drainage Project. If you have any questions, feel free to contact wsa.qpprogram@wsask.ca
