Update on the WAMITAB and CIWM Merger

They have also created two corresponding logo's (see below) which will be used by us to promote our role as an approved CIWM (WAMITAB) Qualifications Centre.

From the 1st January 2022 all Centres and qualifications will be transferred automatically to CIWM, this will include any learners currently registered to achieve their awards with WAMITAB.

What does this mean to you, if your currently registered with WAMITAB?

1.      You will continue to be registered with your Centre to undertake the qualification you are working towards and CIWM will take ownership of your qualification registration and the certification of your qualification on completion.

2.      Their contact information will remain the same initially, but we will keep you updated if anything changes.

3.      Any certificates issued will be branded as CIWM.

4.      Your qualification title will change very slightly, to include CIWM within the title, WAMITAB will also be referenced in brackets in the title. For example, ‘CIWM (WAMITAB) Level 4 Certificate in Waste and Resource Management’.

5.      CIWM are working closely with key industry stakeholders and the broader sector to ensure that the change in certificate is well recognised, which will include regulators such as the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales. Employers and Regulators will  still be able to check the validity of your qualification by scanning the QR code on the certificate, which will take you directly to the quartz system used to record learner registration and certification.
 

6.      If you have previously achieved a WAMITAB qualification and require replacement certificates, these will be issued by CIWM.

7.      Your personal data, including your contact details, will transfer to CIWM as part of the merger. This information will continue to be used only for the purposes of administering and awarding your qualification, and for confirming your achievement to legitimate parties such as the Environment Agency.

Please note, this does not change the requirement to achieve the appropriate technical competence for a permitted facility, the only thing that has changed is the awarding organisation which will change from WAMITAB to CIWM and minor changes to the scheme itself which previously included both organisations. 

If you have any questions regarding any of the above, don't hesitate to contact us by emailing info@hsecservices.co.uk.

Have a better business, with better training!
