World Toilet College (WTC) has been conducting training courses since 2005. We saw the need to establish an independent world body which ensured that best practices and standards in toilet design, cleanliness and sanitation technologies were adopted through training and education. Our toilet college is the first and only training college of its kind and focuses on the needs of both rural and urban sanitation. In 2005, we signed a Memorandum of Association with Singapore Polytechnic who agreed to provide premises for our classroom training. Recently, WTC expanded its scope to support WTO’s commitment to reducing the number of people without access to sanitation, improving toilets, developing sustainable sanitation solutions; including development of sanitation and promoting school and ecological sanitation for the bottom of the pyramid. WTC’s courses professionalize the sanitation and restroom industry by providing relevant courses in a comprehensive manner. From Dec ‘09’ to Mar ‘10’ WTC was involved in the curriculum planning exercise organised by Singapore Workforce Development Agency with stakeholders in the environmental cleaning industry. We were instrumental in introducing the advance washroom cleaning module using the curriculum from the Restroom Specialist Training Course. This provided us with the opportunity to place the Restroom Specialist Course under national certification in the future. In June ‘10’, WTC received “Approved Training Organization” status from Singapore Workforce Development Agency. This allows us to conduct national certification programs for the environmental cleaning industry. We also completed “Integrated Sanitation & Hygiene Education” in Tamil Nadu, India - this project was completed and closed in January 2010. All objectives were met and the project was completed within budget.
