| 2. What kind of qualification do I need for the training? |
| All people interested in sustainable sanitation solutions are welcome to join the course. However, as the course will be in English, you need to be able to write & speak in English. An engineering background will help you to solve some of the technical exercises faster, but it is not mandatory to have an engineering degree for the course. |

| 3. What can I learn there? |
The Ecosan Training Courses will provide you with the knowledge to meet the challenges of successfully implementing socially, economically and ecologically viable ecological sanitation projects. The Ecosan Training Course follows a participatory cross-institutional and interdisciplinary approach. Participants will gain thorough theoretical and practical knowledge in the field ecosan. The course consists of two one-week modules, which will enable you to plan and implement your own ecological sanitation projects. |

4. What is the future prospective? |
After completing the course you can; - implement the case study you developed during the course with the technical and partial funding assistance from the IESNI
- implement ecosan projects in your NGO or Government Agency with the advisory support of IESNI and the Ecosan Services Foundation
- join national or international institutions in need for Indian ecosan experts
- open up an engineering firm or expand the scope of your existing one and implement ecosan projects in your region
- implement ecosan systems in your home, neighbourhood and community. You will not only have a hygienically safe toilet, but you can also produce fertilizer, soil conditioner, irrigation water and biogas for cooking!
- contribute to providing cost-effective, ecologically and socially viable sanitation solutions to some of those 650 Million Indians in need of proper sanitation
- help improving the state of our polluted rivers, lakes and groundwater by applying environmentally sound sanitation systems
- adopt socially viable ecosan solutions to support anti-scavenging legislations. |

5. Will I gain some practical knowledge? |
Yes. During the course, you are given project training & field visits to the ongoing ecosan pilot project to give you hands on training in ecosan technologies. The Ecosan Training Course will enable the participants to design, plan and implement their own projects developed during the course with the technical and partial funding assistance from ESF. |

Services Overview
Training Services Education on ecosan by ESF is to enable the people to develop, plan and implement eco-sanitation systems that are hygienically safe, socially acceptable, economically feasible, environmentally sound and technically appropriate.
Promotional Activities ESF partners different organizations in bringing sanitation to limelight, and thus giving true meaning to the word advocacy - “the process of managing information and knowledge strategically to change and/or influence policies and practices that affect the lives of people – particularly the disadvantaged”.
ProjectsThe concept behind ecological sanitation (ecosan) is that sanitation problems could be solved more sustainable and efficiently if the resources contained in excreta and wastewater were recovered and used rather than discharged into the water bodies and the surrounding environment.
Consulting ServicesThe Consulting unit has the mission of supporting individuals, industrial, commercial, residential, educational and governmental partners with the implementation of ecological sanitation systems to manage communal water in their premises.
