DELEGATE TESTIMONIALS
“The recent Waste Academy gave us the knowledge, skills and competency to comply with the waste regulations. We have also been able to take a more informed & considered evaluation of our site and how, as a large company, we can make a difference on the war on waste.
As a result of the training, we now have Waste Ambassadors who will be delivering a new programme on site for better segregation of waste, and more re-use of waste that’s engaging to our customers.”

“I thought the course was fantastic. Good information, informed delivery, and engagement. I learnt a lot. “
“The motivation to attend this course stemmed from the fact that I would need to prove my competence to lead ISO 14001 audits on my contract. I believe the content covered more than satisfies this need, especially the Government Resources & Waste Strategy, Legislation & Compliance, and Innovation & Best Practice section”
“I found it very useful, because I am new to the team it enhanced my development. I found it interesting learning about the government waste strategy and also learning about innovation.”
CIWM Fellow Gina Rudkin, Axil’s Head of Sustainability and Zero Waste comments
“We are working closely with our clients to support their sustainability and efficiency goals and a central part of this is giving employees and other stakeholders the knowledge and tools to feel confident to inform others, to make changes, to intervene or to put forward improvement suggestions.

Our clients are invested in their employee’s development to help increase motivation, employee retention and facilitate long term opportunities, so being able to provide this key subject training with CPD status fits well alongside existing training programmes. Never more so than today, has there been such a plethora of new waste and resource related policy, strategy and obligations. In our sessions we break down what is key to the specific roles of the delegates and how their functions can have positive impacts”
