CIWM (WAMITAB) Assessment Approved Centre
Since 2013, Wiser Training has operated an approved CIWM (WAMITAB) Qualifications Centre; delivering Operator Competence Scheme qualifications on behalf of the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) and the Waste Management Industry Training and Advisory Board (WAMITAB). Tailored for both new and experienced operators, these Ofqual backed assessments are perfect for managers who require evidence of their technical competence for their environmental permit. To date, we have provided over 300 waste management qualifications under the operator competence scheme.
Which CIWM (WAMITAB) qualification should you choose?
Our approved CIWM (WAMITAB) assessment centre can provide a wide range of CIWM (WAMITAB) assessments for all types of waste and resource operations. Whether you operate an end-of-life vehicle (ELV) facility or an open inert landfill, we can help you achieve your industry-recognised qualification. The first action you need to take is to decide which assessment is appropriate for you. There are over 30 qualifications to choose from and each one is tailored towards a specific waste activity. For example, the ‘Level 4 Medium Risk Operator Competence for Physical Treatment – MROC2’ is suited for ELV and WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) treatment operators.
Using the table below, search for the standard rules permit your site operates under and lookup which qualification is appropriate. For those who have a bespoke environmental permit or would like additional support, please contact us or call on 01480 462 232 and our environmental permitting experts can advise.

Our assessment team
Wiser Training boasts a qualified and diverse assessment team that can visit sites across the UK. Our TAQA certified assessors are former waste managers who maintain their own competence. Their experience and knowledge can help guide you towards achieving your award. All of our assessors stay up-to-date with environmental legislation and follow a continual professional development plan; maintaining their expertise across a wide range of disciplines.
Furthermore, having a diverse assessment team allows us to assign an assessor that fits your individual needs. At Wiser Training, we believe that a strong interpersonal relationship between assessor and candidate is key to a successful project.
Your CIWM (WAMITAB) assessment
Once you have been registered for a CIWM (WAMITAB) qualification and assigned an assessor you are ready to get started working towards your award. Throughout the programme, your assessor will become your primary point of contact. Depending on the type of qualification chosen, assessments can take between 2-12 months. At every stage, the team at Wiser Training are available for support.
