Online Training
Please visit our updated Online Training page at hydroschool.org/online/.
All continuing education resources previously listed at surfacewater.biz has moved to hydroschool.org; going forward, the surfacewater.biz website will be dedicated to drainage-related consulting work only.
Below is the archived page.
Our online courses provide interactive workshops for building, running, troubleshooting, and animating 1D, 2D, and coupled 1D-2D hydraulic models. We cover the full suite of HEC software packages along with a range of additional rainfall-runoff, hydraulic, sediment transport modelling, and GIS software. Our online options include both private and open-enrollment formats.
Customized, private online training

No matter where in the world you happen to be, our private, online training sessions can cater to your own background and project requirements. No need to sit through material that you’ve already mastered or get carried away with details you’ll never use; we focus strictly on your individual needs and cater the content to suit your own circumstances.
We can use one of your own projects as the tutorial model, start a new project with terrain data that you provide, or work through one of our many prepared example projects selected based on the modelling aspects that you need to learn.
The pricing includes a pdf manual that steps through the model setup process with clear screen shots and written instructions; view screenshots of our 200-page printed manual here.
Our half-day online training session is just $500 and the full-day course is just $900 for individual attendees. Sessions can be broken down to best suit your schedule and availability. The half-day private session, for example, can be scheduled as a single 4-hour session, two 2-hour sessions, or four 1-hour sessions.
We use Skype, Webex, or Zoom interfaces to provide secure, private, online screen-sharing session. You can see the instructor’s screen, and vice versa, so that you can receive clear instructions and comfortably step through the exercises at your own pace, with oversight and support provided live as needed.
