One of the most recent of these is the newManual of Drain and Sewer Cleaning. NADC hasworked alongside the UK’sWRc to produce the newly released Drain and Sewer CleaningManual which is a best practices guidance document covering both blockage clearance and planned sewer cleaning. All candidates embarking upon NADC qualifications will need to have a copy of thisManual as a pre-requisite for booking on an NADC accredited course. NADC Course materials are fully consistent with the contents of the manual for much of which NADC provided the material toWRc and this included pictures aswell as text. TheManual builds on and supersedesWRc’s Sewer Jetting Code of Practice with an extended scope to cover all commonly used methods of drain and sewer blockage clearance and cleaning including: • High PressureWater Jetting

It also includes guidance on drain tracing and location techniques used in investigating sewer blockages. TheManual is a comprehensivework that will become the‘bible’ for drainage contractors in the discipline of drain and sewer cleaning. Copies can be obtained fromtheWRcwebsitewww.wrclpc.co.uk In other areas much of the training upon which the industry relies comes frommanufacturers with their courses, in some instances, being recognised by the likes of EU Skills. A problem that has been perhaps overlooked with what has been occurring over the past few years and months however is whilst the recognised training has become accepted by the industry theremay be some aspects of the industry that with the exit fromthe European Union theymay no longer be applicable under UK Law.Thiswould of course mean that there is opportunity for trainers and training providers to fill this gap with a UK-based courses and qualifications.The likelihood is that they will not be much different from thosewe already have but ultimately the qualification level will have to be maintained if safety and quality control are to be kept to acceptable levels. One potential problem with manufacturer courses is of course that they concentrate on themanufacturers products for their training
