Training is important to us.
Staff are our greatest asset, and if they are going to do their job properly, they need to be trained properly. Lutra use years of water and wastewater experience to help us train operational staff, providing both hands on and remote training options.
Whether you need someone to explain complex process theory such as how chlorine works or something practical like how to properly jar test, Lutra can send an engineer to deliver easy to understand hands-on training.
We also offer a digital training solution tailored to your specific plants, License To Operate (LTO) is aimed at supplementing hands-on operations and maintenance training for operators old and new alike.
Onsite Training
Lutra can offer classroom training in many different topics, enabling the teaching of more complex subjects that may not have been covered in your own or other external training.
Examples of subjects:
- Jar testing practical training
- Chlorination theory
- Sample taking and handling
Other subjects are available on request.
License To Operate (LTO)- Tailored Digital Training
Designed to enhance and speed up traditional hands-on operator training, LTO is operations training for the digital age, utilising videos, animations, presentations and interactivity to teach complex tasks in an easy-to-understand way.
LTOs are uniquely tailored to your specific plants, with lessons based around your equipment and your SOPs.
LTO can take some of the pressure of training new recruits off your senior operators, be used as a refresher by any operator for more complex or less frequent tasks, and much more.

Operator Training
LTO offers training developed specifically for your treatment plants, they are aimed at giving your operations staff a complete training system, covering all the subjects they need to keep your plants running well.
LTOs include the following Lesson Types:
- Video maintenance guides showing your staff properly performing tasks
- Process Theory lessons with animations and easy to follow information
- Process Descriptions that show each processes main facts and features at a glance
- SCADA Guides showing how the system works, how to read trends and troubleshoot
Capture Real Knowledge
Part of what makes LTOs so valuable and Unique is that they capture your own staff's knowledge to pass on to future generations of staff. Every plant has unique features and operational intricacies, that make not be shown in SOP's, by recording how your experienced operators perform these tasks, we capture more than any manual would.
LTOs are usually produced by sending a videographer and a process engineer to your site/s to gather data, take pics and record videos, which is then all edited and put together into various lessons.
Available on Almost Any Device
LTOs are developed to be accessible on almost any device whether PC, Mobile or Tablet, with both a web accessible version and Apps available for both IOS and Android.
If using the App you can also pre-download content so that it is available even in places where the internet isn't.

Record Training Progress
Almost as important as properly training your staff is ensuring you properly record their training progress; LTO automatically tracks all users progress as they work through the course. Keeping training records is often a legal requirement and one which is easily overlooked, LTO takes care of this for you.
You can also encourage user engagement with optional features such as gamification and certificates.

Case Studies
District Council - LTO
When an operations & maintenance team needed a next generation training system for their staff to improve resilience, reliability, performance and operating efficiency we developed a solution for them.
National Operator Training
Lutra developed the national level training certificate for the next generation of operators in NZ, in partnership with Connexis, to provide the required training to safely operate and maintain treatment assets.
LTO Vlog
LTOs involve site visits and filming, this Vlog was made onsite while filming an LTO, and gives a little insite into how LTO's are put together and what there capabilities are. Watch on to learn more about LTOs:
