Achievement of this qualification demonstrates competence by the learner to manage permitted waste facilities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland for the following site activities:

• Non-Hazardous Clinical Waste Transfer (Click Here for Hazardous Clinical Waste Transfer)

The process requires the Learner to demonstrate he or she has the required knowledge and skills to manage a permitted waste management facility.

The qualification process would include a number of visits by one of our competent Assessors. 

The first assessment visit will include an induction, to explain the process, as well as the Centre and awarding organisation’s policies, practices and procedures. 

Each Delegate will need to complete the 6 Mandatory units listed below: 

Mandatory Units: 

• Maintain health and safety in the waste and resource management industry (OCS01) 

• Manage the environmental impact of work activities (OCS02)

• Manage the movement, sorting and storage of waste (OCS05) 

• Control work activities on a waste management facility (OCS06) 

• Manage the reception of non-hazardous waste (OCS12) 

• Manage transfer and disposal from non-hazardous clinical waste transfer and recovery operations (OCS25)

As part of the process, you will be required to answer 6 question papers (One for each unit), gather documents relevant to your role such as risk assessments, environmental procedures, check sheets, permits, planning conditions and other such documents! On each document, you need to highlight relevant sections and also make notes as to your involvement with the document(s). 

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.

Your E-Portfolio

Your portfolio will be located online, which you can access through any website browser via a laptop, computer or mobile device.

Here you can access your knowledge question papers, completing them online and submitting them for marking, with one simple click of a button, which will also notify your Assessor automatically!  We also provide access to a huge archive of guidance documents on a range of health, safety, waste and environmental subjects.

Each course will provide a good foundation of knowledge, as well as boosting your confidence, which in turn reduces the time spent carrying out hours of research, and the overall time required to achieve your chosen qualification!

This newfound or updated knowledge can then be applied to the written question papers, which make up a large proportion of the qualification, as well as the assessments themselves.

Courses are delivered online, providing additional flexibility. Don’t worry if you’re not tech savvy, we can provide you with all the help and support you need!

 All you require is a computer or laptop with a camera and microphone, connected to the internet, as well as access to email! After that it’s just a case of clicking a button and starting your journey to achieve the required technical competence, for a permitted waste management facility!
