Level 3 Certificate in Principles of Sustainable Resource Management (PSRM3) CIWM (WAMITAB)
This qualification is assessed using variable methods of assessment, which ultimately depend on the units selected. Some units are made up of knowledge and therefor require the Learner to complete a range of knowledge questions, while other units are based around practical implementation of processes and procedures. This process would be assessed on site in the work environment to allow the Learner to demonstrate he or she has the required knowledge and skills to supervise waste activities.

Other units are based around performance, common examples are completing and submitting near miss reports, mobile plant or machinery defects, as well as carrying out team meetings, planning work tasks and allocation of work etc.
Don’t worry, you will plan each assessment visit with your Assessor to allow time to complete the work required!
When your Assessor arrives on site, he or she will be looking to observe you carrying out your daily duties, asking questions about the tasks you carry out, looking at the documentation and getting you to explain the various processes and procedures.
On completion, the Centre will claim your certificate, which will be scanned, and a copy sent in advance of the original certificate.
