H&H Essentials #4: Stochastic hydrology - On Demand Training

View More On-demand Training

About

In this 3-hour intensive training course, attendees will increase their knowledge of statistical methods used to interpolate and extrapolate design results for a range of recurrence intervals. Throughout the course attendees will be shown practical working examples, learning hands-on how to use and apply different statistical techniques and regression equations, including the computation of confidence limits associated with predicted results.

Background

This course is part of our H&H Essentials series, comprised of 8 individual intensive 3-hour courses with each course flowing into the next enabling attendees to build their skills piece by piece through every course. Each course in the series will focus on a key principle of hydrology and hydraulics. Click here to register for the ENTIRE series.

Prerequisites

These courses are designed to cater for engineers and non-engineers alike, with a range of provided background materials that make the course suitable for both beginners and experienced professionals seeking a refresher for the underlying concepts behind hydrologic and hydraulic modelling applications.

Format

Each course consists of 3-hours of recordings with pre and post-course materials delivered through sequential units via our customised learning platform. The courses include electronic copies of background material and workshop instructions, with pre-readings/videos and manuals available for ongoing learning.

Take sessions anytime, at your own pace, with unlimited course access for 4 months.

What’s included within each of the 8 courses in the series:

3-hours of session recordings to view as many times as required;
Ability to ask questions to the presenters at any time through the learning platform;
PDF manual of the course available for ongoing use;
Workshop material for hands-on exercises downloaded from the learning platform before starting the session recordings;
Pre-reading and viewing materials;
Homework modules and quizzes where relevant.

Preparation

Pre-course reading and video watching is encouraged.

Requirements

A good internet connection and software and downloads as described in the learning platform. To provide the best desired learning outcomes, set up in a quiet space with dual monitors (i.e., one screen with the on-demand recording and the other with the software/exercise that attendees can work on simultaneously).

Certification

On completion of the course attendees will be issued with a Certificate of Participation. Attendees earn CPD hours/points with professional organisations for at least 5 hours per course (therefore 40+ hours for the series).
