However, putting aside these potential pitfalls for the moment, to ensure that the training offered is of the highest standard it can achieve, NADC has an appointedTraining Committee which reports in to the NADC Management
Board.The Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board which new qualifications should be developed and reports to the Board in respect of any NADC qualification issues whichmay arise. NADC is the effective owner of qualifications that have been approved by EU Skills and which are part of the NADC framework. TheTraining Committee approves the appointment of NADC recognised trainers in order to sustain the highest quality of training and qualification provision and sets the required qualification criteria for trainers to apply for recognition by NADC. NADC trainers are appointed to provide training in specific regions and this extends beyond England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland. NADC has a memorandum of understanding with the National Drainage Academy which is independent of NADC and which actively promotes NADC qualifications. NADC trainers are responsible for setting their own course fee structures and for arranging the booking and invoicing of
candidates.They are responsible for submitting all course paperwork for NADC qualifications to the external verifier appointed by NADC and EU Skills which then issue the successful candidates cards to provide practical evidence of the qualifications that they hold.

(various levels of risk) to be created or adopted. Existing Courses include High PressureWater Jetting Safety Awareness –The NADC DrainageHigh PressureWater Jetting Safety Awareness (1 day course) has been created because Health and Safety within the water jetting industry is of paramount
importance.Trained staff will have a greater awareness and appreciation of safe sewer jettingworking practices with high flow, high pressure water jetting equipment. Electromechanical andMillingMachines Safety Awareness –The NADC Electromechanical andMillingMachines Safety Awareness (1 Day course) has been designed around the existing and emerging market of lowand high speed electrical machines, this form of drain cleaning is a proven method of cleaning hard deposits, roots and rehabilitating pipe lines for CIPP repairs. It requires no water supply and can be used in situations where conventionalHigh PressureWater Jetting techniques are restricted or unadvisable. Domestic Drainage CCTV Surveying –The NADC Domestic Drainage CCTV surveying course (2 days) has all local variations regarding sewerage law, definitions, history, and requirements. At present it is based around the currentManual of Sewer Condition Classification 5th Edition (MSCC 5) and when MSCC6 is issued will incorporate the new requirements.
