CIWM (WAMITAB) Level 4 Certificate in Waste and Resource Management – VRQ (Intensive Course)
The CIWM (WAMITAB) Level 4 Certificate in Waste and Resource Management – VRQ is a taught and tested qualification and is the ideal way of gaining the appropriate qualification, as the Delegate is taught everything they need to know! It's open to anyone, from those who are new or preparing to work in the industry, those in haulage, sales, customer service or compliance teams, new or experienced waste supervisors or managers, who want to achieve technical competence for a permitted waste facility!
Description
The process starts with an in-depth training course. This course will not only provide you with the knowledge and understanding to complete the written projects required, but it will also set you up for a career in waste management.
The course material is delivered via PowerPoint presentation; however, this will not be death by PowerPoint, this will be an interactive, fun learning process, with real-world stories you will never forget, as well as various exercises, question and answer sessions, and much more!
The course covers the five mandatory units of health & safety, legislation, environmental protection, stakeholder communication, and sustainable waste management.
Each Delegate will then select at least one optional mandatory unit, which will be their specialist subject and is relevant to the permitted waste management facility.
Optional Units Available (Click the links below to access additional information for each of the optional units):
Please note: there have been a number of new consolidated standard rules permits issued, some of which include asbestos. If you are unsure which competence you require, please contact us for further guidance or click here to learn about the new consolidated standard rules, permits and technical competence requirements.
Please note: this route is not suitable for those looking to transfer or store asbestos.

After the course, you will be required to complete and submit a unit question paper for each of the five mandatory units and your chosen optional unit(s) in your own time, away from the course.
These are submitted to us electronically or through the post for marking.
If they reach the required standard, we will store them until all of your unit question papers have met the standard.
Any unit question paper(s) that do not meet the standard will be returned to you, along with feedback from the marker.
This will allow you to review the feedback provided by the marker while continuing to research and learn prior to making the required amendments to your question(s).
Once amended, they are sent back to us for marking. When all your unit question papers have met the standard, they will go through an internal and external moderation process.
After this point, we can then claim your award!
Course Formats Explained
Standard Split Courses
Standard split courses allow you time between courses to start the required question paper assignments while still ensuring the training is still fresh in your mind!
This option is ideal for those applying for any new permit applications, as well as those looking to ensure they have additional internal cover for a site, or where an agreement is in place with a regulator, to achieve the award due to issues surrounding any previous technically competent manager. This option is the most popular choice with our customers, as it provides flexibility to complete the award at your own pace.
Extreme Split Courses
Extreme split courses are designed for those who want to complete the course and qualification over a more manageable period of time, allowing you time between courses to complete the written question paper assignments.
Ideal for those who are new to the waste management sector, those in small teams, as well as those with a busy schedule. This option has seen people complete in a similar time frame to the other two course formats, despite the training taking place over an average period of 6 months, and is extremely popular with our customers.
Intensive Courses
Intensive courses are designed for those who need to achieve the qualification quickly, for reasons such as having no technical competence in place at an existing facility or where the individual is applying for a new environmental permit.
While you might complete the training quicker with this option, if you can’t find the time to complete the question paper assignments, you may find one of the other options is more suitable, to ensure the knowledge gained is applied and retained; otherwise, you may need to do a bit more research in order to achieve the qualification.
