Alliance for Water Stewardship training programme

AWS Standard System Training

AWS Standard System Training explores the changing landscape of water risks and opportunities, and takes an in-depth look at the International Water Stewardship Standard (AWS Standard).

This training is open to everyone and available online, either as a public course or tailored specifically for your organisation. Please contact us to enquire about tailored training.

AWS Standard Version 3.0

AWS will soon launch AWS Standard Version 3.0, marking a major milestone following two years of development.

To support the new Standard, our flagship AWS Standard System Training course has been fully updated to the Standard Version 3.0. This new course will equip you with the knowledge and practical understanding required to apply the requirements in the AWS Standard V3.0 with confidence.

In addition, we will also be offering a short course on the AWS Standard V3.0 in China to help participants quickly grasp the core requirements of the AWS Standard to prepare for implementation and certification.

AWS Standard Version 2.0

While we are pleased to be offering new AWS Standard System Training for Version 3.0 of the Standard, we recognise that many stakeholders will continue implementing AWS Standard Version 2.0 during the transition period. To ensure continuity and accessibility, the Version 2.0 training will remain available.

Training schedules and registration links for both versions are available on this page. Please select the course aligned with your current implementation needs.
