Although cards are no longer provided by EUSR as standard, Waterlink will continue to purchase cards for those who undertake Water Hygiene training at no additional charge to the individual or company. The cards will be posted directly to the individual (according to the booking form) within 5 working days of them being received at the Waterlink office and will be valid for 3 years.
Waterlink can keep track of when your training is due to expire and contact you at such a time to book you onto a refresher course in 3 years time, this will ensure that you/your staff are not left uncovered. If you are interested in this, please do speak to the trainer who will take the required contact information (name, EUSR number and personal email address) and ask you to sign the relevant GDPR form. You will NOT be contacted for marketing purposes, and will only receive one reminder email as requested.
