Client-focused approach
We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients, and are committed to providing up-to-date training to meet the constantly changing regulatory environment.
Our Story
Our Training and Operations group was originally established by XCG Consultants Ltd., an engineering consulting organization founded in 1990 that focused on water, wastewater, and environmental services. Following the Walkerton, Ontario tragedy, the Ontario government enacted laws which included better training and certification of operators. In response to the demand for water and wastewater training, a dedicated subsidiary, XCG Training and Operations Inc., was officially launched in 2008. The training program focused on alleviating the stress municipalities faced from evolving government regulations and associated required training. In 2009, we established a fully equipped training trailer that provided services directly to client locations, increasing the value and convenience for our clients.
In 2017, XCG Training and Operations Inc. was acquired by Cole Engineering, and was rebranded as Cole Training and Operations. In December 2020, Cole Training and Operations was acquired by IBI Group, and has now become IBI Group Training and Operations. Over the course of our history, we have successfully developed over 60 tailored water and wastewater management programs and continue to grow to meet provincial standards and the needs of our clients.
