Continuous Refresher and Further Training

Special investigative officers are legally required to follow a training program within a five-year cycle in the Netherlands.

The Continuous Refresher and Further Training (PHB) is the training program that special investigative officers (BOAs) are legally required to follow. It consists of 4 modules provided over a 5-year period. Within this period, every BOA must obtain 4 certificates:

  • Legal Frameworks – General Environment
  • Legal Frameworks – Specific Environment
  • Sanctioning Actions
  • Color Trace Specific Application

World Water Academy provides the 4 mentioned modules of the PHB within Domain II (Environment, Welfare, and Infrastructure) foremployees of water authorities and waterway managers. We offer these training programs exclusively as in-company courses, upon request by various organizations.

The exams, and thus the content of the PHB, are determined by an independent national examination institute (ExTH – Examination Institute for Supervision and Enforcement). There are 2 theoretical and 2 practical modules.
