Resource Management Level 3 (CIWM) - Apprenticeship
Overview
Resource Management is a fully-funded apprenticeship that will allow individuals to effectively undertake their role in the waste and resource management industry. It is a fantastic opportunity for staff looking to start a career in the sector or experienced staff to enhance their skills, knowledge and understanding.
Resource Management as a sector is becoming vital for organisations, due to organisations acting ethically and taking their corporate social responsibility seriously to meet UK Government objectives for a zero net carbon United Kingdom by 2050. The sector is now seen as specialist, particularly in Wales due to local authorities placing a bigger emphasis on segregation at source.
The Level 3 apprenticeship is for those who have significant experience in their role within a resource management or waste setting, or those who are looking to develop the skills and knowledge required to operate within a team leader/supervisory role in this environment.

Resource Management Level 4 - Apprenticeship
Learners will demonstrate their occupational competence, skills and knowledge by collecting evidence of their work. This evidence will be presented in an e-portfolio and can involve work-based assessment such as observations, witness testimonies, case studies, personal statements and work-based evidence.

We will use a range of assessment methods to evidence knowledge and understanding, including:
- Workbooks
- Case studies
- Assignments
- Professional discussions
The learners will also be required to complete the Essential Skills programme, which consists of a controlled task and confirmatory test, which will need to be sat under exam conditions.
