Case studies

While most training for recycling officers occurs on the job, The Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM)  and other providers, such as Natural England  and the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW)  offer vocational training and a variety of specialist training courses in a number of relevant areas.

The CIWM also has a continuing professional development (CPD) scheme. All members are required to complete a minimum of 30 hours of CPD per year through a range of activities such as seminars, conferences, workshops, training events, writing papers and research.

CIWM's Structured Learning and Development Scheme (SLD) enables new graduates to get the practical skills they need to progress in the waste management industry. Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP)  runs a three-day Recycling Managers Training Course at various locations throughout the UK. This course is for local authority recycling and waste management officers with up to three years’ experience.
