What is the EUSR National Water Hygiene Open Course?

Open courses are face-to-face with a trainer. Places on these courses are available for anyone to book either online on by phone. The National Water Hygiene training course is highly recognised by the UK water industry. The scheme plays a major role with promoting safe practices when working with drinking water and the protection of public health.

It is usually a requirement of water organisations across the UK for those entering a clean water site, or working on clean water utilities, to hold the EUSR National Water Hygiene qualification whether in direct contact with water or not.

The National Water Hygiene training protects the safety of water through good hygiene practices while working on restricted operations as defined in the technical guidance notes:

“Work which may involve direct or potential contact with untreated sources of underground water, with partially or fully treated water within water treatment works or with treated water, or any surface of an operational asset (including those temporarily out of use) which will itself be in contact with potable water at any stage in its distribution to the point where it is made available to consumers”.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the questions we frequently get asked about EUSR training courses.

How do I get a replacement EUSR card?

All new EUSR registrations are now issued with a virtual card instead of the previous plastic card. Virtual cards mean you can never forget or lose your card. To access the virtual card, all you need is a smartphone or tablet and to download the Vircarda app.

How long does it take for me to get a EUSR card?

Once you have completed your course, the training school will submit your registration application. Your certificate can be with you in as little as a week, but the average time frame is usually 4 weeks.

What happens if I fail the EUSR assessment?

Depending on the timing of your course on the day, you may be offered a resit of the module assessments on the same day. However, it is up to the training school to decide if a resit would be appropriate or whether you would be required to take the course again.
