working in cleaning; street cleansing; facilities management; resource management and
recycling and parking from operative through to management level.
We work directly with industry leaders to shape and deliver employer-led qualifications that
provide individuals with fit-for-purpose skills for the workplace. Our values are underpinned
by the desire to see every individual being given the opportunity to learn. By qualifying the
workforce, we aim to embed a culture of safety and progression, making the industry more
attractive as a career.
We are a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting technical competence in the
industry via regulated programmes and accreditation of in-house training schemes.

Over 20 years of experience developing and quality assuring qualifications, training and

the workplace.
A dedicated team who understand the needs of your business and provide industry
expertise, advice and guidance.

Facilities management – is a relatively new sector that focuses on the co-ordination of

Our Services
Accredit
Many companies care enough about the development of their employees to offer tailored
in-house training programmes, and to ensure they receive the recognition they deserve
from clients and potential new customers, WAMITAB has introduced a new accreditation
service.
WAMITAB Accredit provides a comprehensive process, from initial consultation through to
review and final accreditation of in-house company training programmes or courses.
WAMITAB Accredit provides two quality assured pathways:
1. WA1 allows companies to gain a WAMITAB stamp of approval for their programme
recognising that it is capable of delivering the stated objectives and learning
outcomes (please note: accreditation costs £500 per day of course and we offer an
optional certification service of £12.50 per certificate).
2. WA2 maps their in-house training programme or course against known industry
benchmarks and standards to provide formal certification (please note: prices may vary
depending on the complexity and volume of course materials being mapped.
Certification for this pathway is compulsory at £12.50 per certificate).
When achieved, accreditation provides national recognition of the added value an employer
developed training programme or course brings to their workforce in terms of quality, job
specific knowledge, skills and experience.
Validate
Validate is a new work-based assessment programme that has been developed by
WAMITAB. The current suite of competence assessment modules cover: waste/recycle
collection, street cleansing and driving/operation of vehicles and equipment and there are
plans to expand the coverage over time.
The assessment model is designed for use in-house by qualified assessors or by training
providers and is ideal for companies looking for a cost-effective way to confirm staff
competency on a task-by-task basis.

Our Qualifications Offer
WAMITAB offers a wide range of training and qualifications to suit the needs of every
business, large or small, and every learner, regardless of educational background. Our
flexible approach to learning is both accessible and employer-led; meaning that the benefits
of taking a WAMITAB qualification or training programme are measurable against both
business objectives and an individual’s career path.
Full Qualifications
With over 120 full qualification pathways, learners and employers in the resource
management sector can find a route which best suits their needs. From entry to
management level, and including license to practice, our qualifications portfolio has been
developed based on National Occupational Standards designed by industry, for industry.
Single or Groups of Units
Units are the building blocks of every qualification, representing bite sized chunks of
learning that provide a stairway towards a full set of useable skills. By utilising unit
achievement, WAMITAB is able to provide a truly flexible approach to skills acquisition.
This is necessary because not all learners or employers need a full qualification to develop
the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to do their jobs well. By choosing one or
more units which support a specific job role; employers can build a bespoke programme
that works for their business.
Innovation
WAMITAB is also able to work with employers to develop new training and qualifications,
where there is evidence of market need. By utilising the industry knowledge of the
employer, the educational experience of our dedicated standards team and our regulated
position as an awarding organisation, we are able to work together to produce employer-led
provision that is designed to improve business effectiveness and meet the needs of learners.

Funding
Funding is available to support some areas of skills development and it can take a variety of
forms – for example, as a grant, bursary, subsidy or loan. In 2010, the Government’s “skills
for sustainable growth” strategy stated that future funding for skills would be based on the
three key principles of:



Fairness – so that funding is targeted at those most in need, such as young people and
those without basic literacy or numeracy skills.
Shared responsibility – ensuring that those benefitting from learning (both individuals
and employers) contribute to the cost.
Greater freedom – supporting providers to develop learning that reflects local needs and
is not weighed down by bureaucracy.
Whilst the current economic climate has reduced the number of funding opportunities
available, many providers and employers are exploring different ways of learning. Funding
can come from a number of different sources, such as Government departments, local
authorities, Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) in England, FE colleges, trade associations,
professional bodies and Sector Skills Councils.
