We are able to offer two differing routes to achieve the appropriate technical competence for a permitted facility.

The only difference is how the two different routes are assessed and achieved, but all the qualifications are listed within the CIWM (WAMITAB) operator competence scheme, as being suitable as technical competence for a permitted facility.

Option A is a training route which is suitable for a range of permitted facilities from transfer and treatment of non-hazardous waste, end of life vehicles, metal recycling, contaminated land remediation, land spreading, composting and anaerobic digestion to name but a few facility types!

Option B is the more traditional option for those looking to achieve technical competence for a permitted facility and is suitable for all permitted facility types from landfill, dredging and transfer and treatment of  both hazardous, non-hazardous and inert waste.
