If you need to complete an accredited CIWM / WAMITAB course, Learning Light is an approved training centre that provides waste management qualifications at Level 1, 2, 3 and 4. This includes the OCC (Operator Competence Certificate).
The most popular of these training courses is the CIWM / WAMITAB Level 4 qualification, which is often referred to as the CoTC – Certificate of Technical Competence. Every waste management or recycling facility must have an accredited professional working on site for at least 20% of the time.
This must be someone who has the required training, knowledge and skill to govern safe working procedures.
WAMITAB is now integrated into the CIWM – Chartered Institution of Wastes Management – so any qualifications completed or in progress are equally recognised by all bodies.
CIWM WAMITAB qualifications demonstrate that you have the level of knowledge and skills required for ensuring that a waste site fully complies with the Environmental Permitting Regulations (2007).
CIWM / WAMITAB Approved Centre
Learning Light is an approved CIWM / WAMITAB Centre providing Statutory and Non-Statutory (Voluntary) qualifications that are listed on the Quality Curriculum Framework (QCF).
We offer accredited training that is evidenced by the learner with traditional paperwork, but we are also able to deliver the WAMITAB / CIWM qualification online if you prefer. An on-site assessor visit is required at the start and final assessment, plus any additional points in the process where support is required.
This can make WAMITAB training much more convenient for the learner and much less disruptive for the employer.
As well as making training and assessments as convenient as possible alongside your work, we ensure that WAMITAB and CIWM courses with Learning Light are competitively priced.
