Professional Training
Certified, hands-on courses that turn people into skilled, standards-driven craftsmen — taught by the engineers who developed the SBDS and improved Biofil systems.
Learn from the people who built the system.
Ghana has no shortage of people who can lay blocks. What it lacks is certified artisans who can read a working drawing, install a sanitation system correctly, and stand behind the result. Sisal did not adopt SBDS and the improved Biofil toilet from someone else — we researched and developed them. When you train here, you learn the system from the engineers who designed it, on real installations, and you leave certified.
Two certified course tracks.
Biofil Toilet System Training
Full installation training on the improved Sisal Biofil toilet — the eco-friendly system that fixes the maintenance and performance problems of conventional units.
You will learn
- How the Biofil system treats waste biologically
- Siting, excavation and base preparation
- Unit assembly and correct installation sequence
- Common installation faults and how to avoid them
- Maintenance, manure removal and servicing
Best for artisans and plumbers who want a specialist, in-demand skill.
SBDS Installation Training
Certified training on the Sisal Biomechanical Drainage System — the drainage solution that ends septic tank and soakaway failure where there is no public sewer.
You will learn
- How SBDS treats and returns wastewater to the soil
- Reading the site: soil, water table and levels
- Selecting the right residential classification (RC1–RC7)
- Chamber setting, pipework and filtration media
- Commissioning, testing and handover
Best for installers, builders and technicians serving homes and estates.
