Achieving compliance

This Groundwater Sampling Course uses the Victorian Environment Protection Authority’s regulations and guidelines as the foundation for learning. We teach methods to facilitate compliance with the the Environment Protection Act (2017) and that closely follow the EPA Groundwater Sampling Guidelines 669.1. All other states’ regulations and guidelines are very similar, and we will provide the necessary resources for compliant groundwater sampling within those states.

By the end of this course, you will understand the fundamental purpose and processes for groundwater sampling, including how to:

  • Select the right equipment
  • Apply the best methods
  • Collect samples safely and effectively
  • Preserve samples for analysis
  • Interpret data
