Training helped improve performance management in our workplace. Training gives us framework of how our job duties and tasks should be completed, and, most importantly it centralizes knowledge in the workplace.

I liked the diversity of topics, course presenters being experienced engineers from the field (not just from Academia), lots of case studies and finally, contemporary techniques and examples. I find it effective and have no improvement suggestions. I find LMS effective. The course is extremely well organized, with experienced presenters. I was particularly thrilled with some contemporary techniques and field examples. I would recommend it to younger engineers as a very good knowledge source, but also to experienced colleagues as an excellent refreshment course with elements of modern and new techniques mixed in.

I appreciate all the speakers for they are very expert in their topic. Even though we are not present face to face but virtual lectures where also available in some topics. On the topic related to earthquake it was an eye opener for me since we can not predict when it will come but due to the lectures given we can help make lessen the damage of our dams and casualties of the properties and of the people. As we knew that dam provides food, energy and security the importance of dam increases overtime. Disruptions of water is painful to the society and hazard keeps on changing with time. This course really is an eye opener for those who just take for granted even the smallest details during feasibility study, the geophysical techniques for dam safety. For the existing dams preparing and maintaining documentation for damand network for safety assessment. As Benjamin Franklin once said,"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn".

The mentors had practical experience and sharing such information/ experience with photos made the course outstanding. A great course covering almost all aspects of dam and network safety assurance. Well experienced mentors and their practical knowledge sharing makes the course, a remarkable one.

For me introduction to the Learning Management System was additional learning about innovation and how the delivery of lectures can be so effectively carried out and we can learn so smoothly. Good job.... The Dam safety course gave me chance to enhance my knowledge about the hydro mechanical operation and maintenance and proper checking before using.

The material covered is relevant to my work. The LMS is quite convenient and easy to use. This is a great course. It helped me acquire very relevant skills and advanced my knowledge about dams and their safety. It was timely because it came at a time when the department that I'm working under in my country Malawi is in the course of developing dam based irrigation systems under the IFAD funded Program for Rural Irrigation development. I happen to be the district Engineer in one of the districts involved in this project and the project is intending to construct a Rock fill dam that will aid in storing water to command a total irrigation area of 500 hectares through lined open channels. I believe that what I have learned from the course will be applicable to my work, not only to the project at hand but other projects as well. I highly recommend this course for water resources engineers, irrigation engineers, environmental engineers and scientists and all other relevant staff in this field.

I like all the course outline and it is very informative. LMS is a very good platform. The training course is well organized and provides wide range of information from new technologies, from their (faculty) experiences on dam safety management and lessons learned on the past. The course will improve the professional skills with the entrusted responsibilities in the inspection and monitoring of the dam, and appurtenant civil structures and ensuring their levels of safety.

The way the lectures were explained and the sequence in which it was organised accordingly. I enjoyed the course and it was very convenient for me to learn through this system – LMS. The course is very beautifully designed. I got an opportunity to learn in depth about Dams. I strongly recommend every professional who are engaged in Dams, Canals, etc. to take up this course, as it can definitely enlighten us in this subject along with clarification of doubts. I enjoyed the course a lot.

It provided me a good background on what I should do or look into to support the Operation and Maintenance of Irrigation Systems in areas I am assigned. Certainly, these provided me a good knowledge and learning materials as well should specific concerns arise in the future. As of now, the knowledge I have gained from the course was very helpful in my study and initiative to improve our Emergency Action Planning and Dam Safety inspection. I am very grateful for the learnings I have gained. Another good thing also is that the course allowed us to do the study on our own convenient time. Thank you very much! I'm glad I had the chance to join in the DNSA course. The knowledge I have gained certainly supports my commitment for the continuous improvement of our Irrigation System's Operationand Maintenance. Time spent in the study was invaluable!

The course covered most of the practical issues dealt in day-to-day field work. Also, the open house sessions gave an opportunity to meet experts of various fields and getting clarification for the queries. Dams are assets of the Nation. The health of these assets are of prime importance. The course has helped me in Understanding the asset and performing better as a Dam Owner.
