No, our training focuses on leakage detection techniques outside of the property. We work predominantly with water utilities and contractors to detect leaks on clean water networks, without involving the customer and their property. ### How much are the eLearning leakage detection courses? The courses can be bought individually; however, we would recommend completing our Standard course followed by the Advanced eLearning course. If you’re purchasing both courses, we can provide a 20% discount. Contact us if you are interested in more information.  ### Do the eLearning courses have live training? These courses can be completed at any time and do not require live, in person training. They therefore can be completed anywhere across the globe. Material includes, PowerPoint presentations, knowledge check questions, video tutorials, and an exam. ### Where is the Leakage Detection Practitioner training delivered? The Practitioner training can be delivered in the trainee’s offices. Our expert trainers can travel to you, to complete the classroom sessions and one2one assessments. Get in touch and we can see about arranging training dates that are best for you.  If you are based outside the United Kingdom, then please call to discuss your requirements. ### What if we have different equipment than those that are used in the Practitioner training material? We can tailor our material to suit the equipment that you use for leak detection, please mention this in your enquiry and we can discuss changes that can be made. [Get in touch today](https://www.crowderconsult.com/contact-us).  ### Can I book onto the Practitioner course? We don’t run regular Practitioner courses at our offices. The Practitioner training course is specific to the client’s requirements in terms of group size, location, timing. If you’d like us to deliver the training, please [send us a message](https://www.crowderconsult.com/contact-us) for more information. ### Are there bespoke training packages you can provide? We can adapt the Practitioner materials to be specific to your needs (e.g. international training, advanced training), please get in touch to see what we can do for you. We can also update the materials to suit the equipment type. Our trainers are very knowledgeable in all the latest technologies and equipment.  ### “I am just starting out my career in leak detection, which course do you think would be best for me to carry out?” If you’re just starting out in the field of leak detection, we would recommend completing our Leakage Detection Foundation Standard course. This is great place to understand the techniques that are used day to day such as Sounding and Acoustic Logging. The course also highlights the importance of understanding leakage itself and the analysis that is often involved from a desktop perspective. ### How do I book the courses? To book a course, either complete one of the [enquiry forms](https://www.crowderconsult.com/contact-us) on our website stating your name, email and message outlining which course you are interested in or email [enquiries@crowderconsult.co.uk](mailto:enquiries@crowderconsult.co.uk) with your request.  A member of the training department will then shortly get back to you with further information. ## Latest from the Blog [![Water Loss Asia 2026: Sharing Expertise, Driving Collaboration](https://www.crowderconsult.com/hubfs/Image-Oct-28-2026-10-27-25-2058-AM.jpg)](https://www.crowderconsult.com/blog/water-loss-asia-2026) [Water Loss Asia 2026: Sharing Expertise, Driving Collaboration](https://www.crowderconsult.com/blog/water-loss-asia-2026) Crowder Consulting was delighted to take part in Water Loss Asia 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 20–22 October, as a Synergy Event Partner.
