Duration: 6 Months
 Revised Edition
Trainer Name Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR),
Islamabad
Course Title Water Quality Testing Technician (WQTT)
Objectives Employable skills and hands on practice for water quality
and monitoring
Expectations
This diploma aimed at integrating the different steps in the
water quality monitoring process, from the information needs,
monitoring network design, field and laboratory procedures up
to data collection and processing. The resulting water quality
data can then be evaluated together with the natural water
quality.

Course provides an opportunity to build a career in the field of

water and wastewater quality laboratory operation, course start
from basic level and then move towards the advance level.
Starting from introduction of water contamination and
contaminants then move towards use of portable, bench top and
high tech testing instruments. This course will cover the different
techniques for water quality monitoring design, field testing and
laboratory testing, efficiency evaluation of water treatment
technologies, data analysis and reporting.

Main Expectations:
In short, the course under reference should be delivered by
professional instructors in such robust hands-on manner that
the trainees are comfortably able to employ their skills for
earning money (through wage/self-employment) at its
conclusion, where’s hands on practice are not valid than
demonstration will be required through video contents/ project
prototype.
This course thus clearly goes beyond the domain of the
traditional training practices in vogue and underscores an
expectation that a market centric approach will be adopted as
the main driving force while delivering it. The instructors should
therefore be experienced enough to be able to identify the
training needs for the possible market roles available out there.
Moreover, they should also know the strengths and weaknesses
of each individual trainee to prepare them for such market roles
during/after the training.
1. Specially designed practical tasks to be performed by the
trainees have been included in the Annexure-I to this
document. The record of all tasks performed individually or
in groups must be preserved by the management of the
training Institute clearly labeling name, trade, session etc. so
that these are ready to be physically inspected/verified
through monitoring visits from time to time. The weekly
distribution of tasks has also been indicated in the weekly
lesson plan given in this document.
2. In order to materialize the main expectations, a special
module on Job Search & Entrepreneurial Skills has been
included in the later part of this course (5th & 6th month)
through which, the trainees will be made aware of the Job
search techniques in the local as well as international job
markets (Gulf countries). Awareness around the visa
process and immigration laws of the most favoured labour
destination countries also forms a part of this module.
Moreover, the trainees would also be encouraged to venture
into self-employment and exposed to the main requirements
in this regard. It is also expected that a sense of civic
duties/roles and responsibilities will also be inculcated in the
trainees to make them responsible citizens of the country.
3. A module on Workplace Ethics has also been included to
highlight the importance of good and positive behavior at
work place in the line with the best practices elsewhere in
the world. An outline of such qualities has been given in the
Annexures to this document. Its importance should be
 conveyed in a format that is attractive and interesting for the
trainees such as through PPT slides +short video
documentaries. Needless to say that if the training provider
puts his heart and soul into these otherwise non-technical
components, the image of Pakistani workforce would
undergo a positive transformation in the local as well as
international job markets.
In order to maintain interest and motivation of the trainees
throughout the course, modern techniques such as:
• Motivational Lectures
• Success Stories
• Case Studies
These techniques would be employed as an additional training
tool wherever possible (these are explained in the subsequent
section on Training Methodology).
Lastly, evaluation of the competencies acquired by the trainees
will be done objectively at various stages of the training and
proper record of the same will be maintained. Suffice to say that
for such evaluations, practical tasks would be designed by the
training providers to gauge the problem solving abilities of the
trainees.

1. Motivational Lectures
The proposed methodology for the training under reference
employs motivation as a tool. Hence besides the purely
technical content, a trainer is required to include elements of
motivation in his/her lecture. To inspire the trainees to utilize
the training opportunity to the full and strive towards
professional excellence. Motivational lectures may also include
general topics such as the importance of moral values and civic
role & responsibilities as a Pakistani. A motivational lecture
should be delivered with enough zeal to produce a deep impact
on the trainees. It may comprise of the following:
1. Clear Purpose to convey message to trainees effectively.
 2. Personal Story to quote as an example to follow.
3. Trainees Fit so that the situation is actionable by trainees
and not represent a just idealism.
4. Ending Points to persuade the trainees on changing
themselves.
A good motivational lecture should help drive creativity, curiosity
and spark the desire needed for trainees to want to learn more.
Impact of a successful motivational strategy is amongst others
commonly visible in increased class participation ratios. It
increases the trainees’ willingness to be engaged on the
practical tasks for longer time without boredom and loss of
interest because they can clearly see in their mind's eye where
their hard work would take them in short (1-3 years); medium (3
-10 years) and long term (more than 10 years).
As this tool is expected that the training providers would make
arrangements for regular well-planned motivational lectures as
part of a coordinated strategy interspersed throughout the
training period as suggested in the weekly lesson plans in this
document.

5. Success Stories
Another effective way of motivating the trainees is by means of
Success Stories. Its inclusion in the weekly lesson plan at
regular intervals has been recommended till the end of the
training.
A success story may be disseminated orally, through a
presentation or by means of a video/documentary of someone
that has risen to fortune, acclaim, or brilliant achievement. A
success story shows how a person achieved his goal through
hard work, dedication, and devotion. An inspiring success story
contains compelling and significant facts articulated clearly and
easily comprehendible words. Moreover, it is helpful if it is
assumed that the reader/listener knows nothing of what is being
revealed. Optimum impact is created when the story is revealed
in the form of:-
1. Directly in person (At least 2-3 cases must be arranged by
the training institute)
2. Through an audio/ videotaped message (2-3 high quality
videos must be arranged by the training institute)
It is expected that the training provider would collect relevant
high-quality success stories for inclusion in the training as
suggested in the weekly lesson plan given in this document.
Suggestive structure and sequence of a sample success story
and its various shapes can be seen at annexure III.

3. Case Studies
Where a situation allows, case studies can also be presented to
the trainees to widen their understanding of the real-life specific
problem/situation and to explore the solutions.
In simple terms, the case study method of teaching uses a real-
life case example/a typical case to demonstrate a phenomenon
in action and explain theoretical as well as practical aspects of
the knowledge related to the same. It is an effective way to help
the trainees comprehend in depth both the theoretical and
practical aspects of the complex phenomenon in depth with
ease. Case teaching can also stimulate the trainees to
participate in discussions and thereby boost their confidence. It
also makes classroom atmosphere interesting thus maintaining
the trainee interest in training till the end of the course.
Depending on suitability to the trade, the weekly lesson plan in
this document may suggest case studies to be presented to the
trainees. The trainer may adopt a power point presentation or
video format for such case studies whichever is deemed
suitable but it’s important that only those cases are selected that
are relevant and of a learning value.
The Trainees should be required and supervised to carefully
 analyze the cases.
For the purpose they must be encouraged to inquire and collect
specific information / data, actively participate in the
discussions, and intended solutions of the problem / situation.
Case studies can be implemented in the following ways: -
1. A good quality trade specific documentary (At least 2-3
documentaries must be arranged by the training institute).
2. Health & Safety case studies (2 cases regarding safety and
industrial accidents must be arranged by the training
institute).
Field visits (At least one visit to a trade specific major industry/
site must be arranged by the training institute)

10 min and your team to start to build rapport and create a team
presentation for the tasks ahead.
The icebreaker below should work well at introductions and
encouraging communication, but feel free to use others if you
think they are more appropriate. It is important to encourage
young people to get to know each other and build strong team
links during the first hour; this will help to increase their motivation
and communication throughout the sessions.

so that everyone knows what they are doing for this activity and
how.

 “IDENTIFY ENTREPRENEURS” TEAM ACTIVITY

 “BRAINSTORMING SOCIAL PROBLEMS” TEAM
ACTIVITY”

As a team, collaborate on a creative brainstorm on social

problems in your community. Vote on the areas you feel most
passionate about as a team, then write down what change you
would like to see happen.
Make sure the teams have the opportunity to talk about how they
want to work as a team through the activities e.g. when they want
to complete the activities, how to communicate, the role of the
project manager, etc. Make sure you allocate each young person
a specific week that they are the project manager for the weekly
activities and make a note of this.
Type up notes for their strategy if this is helpful - it can be included
underneath the Team Contract.

SUCCESS STORY

S. No Key Information Detail/Description

1. Self & Family Danyal Saleem, who lives in Mirpur (AJK), is an

background example of how hard work and perseverance
can reap rich rewards when bidding for projects
online.
The graphic designer works exclusively on an
online freelancing platform and has earned, on
average, US$20,000 per month for the past
several months. But this isn’t a story of
overnight success – Danyal has had to work
hard to differentiate himself and stay true to his
goal.

It was a full year later, in May 2017, when

Danyal finally decided to jump in. He signed up
for one of the numerous sites that connect
designers or coders with people or companies
that have small projects, like designing a logo or
building a website.
He had already started a small business to help
pay for his college education, so he was
nervous and apprehensive about the decision. “I
gave myself two or three months at most. If I
didn’t succeed, then I would go back to running
the business as it was showing potential,” he
says.
If at first, you don’t succeed, try try again

2. How he came on board Certification in graphic designing from STEPS

NAVTTC Training / or (NAVTTC partner institute)
got trained through
any other source

3. Post-training activities Danyal’s area of expertise is in graphic

design. In his first month using Fiverr, he
pitched mostly for projects centered around logo
designing. But it wasn’t so simple. In the first
few weeks, he didn’t hear back from even a
single client, despite pitching for dozens of
projects.

“I needed to understand what worked, so I read

blogs, participated in forums, and analyzed
profiles of successful freelancers. It was an
 uphill struggle, but I didn’t want to give up,” he
explains.

Danyal says he understands why clients would

be apprehensive giving projects to untested
freelancers. They have hundreds of options to
choose from, he explains, and to give a project
to someone with no experience requires a
strong leap of faith.

A slow stream of projects started to come

Danyal’s way. Within a few months, he was
landing an average of a hundred projects every
month, with a large number of repeat clients. He
also expanded the range of his professional
services, branching out from logo design to
business cards, banners, Facebook cover
pages, letterheads, and stationery.

But he’s had to face his fair share of challenges

too. The shoddy state of internet infrastructure
in his city, Mirpur, threatened to derail his
freelancing career. “Sometimes I haven’t had
connectivity for two days straight,” he explains.
“That’s unthinkable for someone who makes his
livelihood on the internet.”

Note: Success story is a source of motivation for the trainees and can be
presented in several ways/forms in a NAVTTC skill development course as
under: -

1. To call a passed out successful trainee of the institute. He will narrate his
success story to the trainees in his own words and meet trainees as well.
2. To see and listen to a recorded video/clip (5 to 7 minutes) showing a
successful trainee Audio-video recording that has to cover the above-
mentioned points.*
3. The teacher displays the picture of a successful trainee (name, trade,
institute, organization, job, earning, etc.) and narrates his/her story in the
teacher’s own motivational words.
