Company Information
The South West Regional Assessment Centre was formed in 1996 in response to the introduction of legislation requiring Managers of Waste Management Facilities to demonstrate their technical competence through the gaining of specialist NVQ qualifications, commonly known as the WAMITAB scheme (WAMITAB are the awarding body for the qualifications). The Company initially offered cradle to grave services to guide, support, train and assess candidates through the process of gaining their qualifications. In 2002, ownership of the company changed and the administrative offices moved from Taunton, Somerset to Wimborne, Dorset. The new location offers comprehenisve training and meeting room facilities. It also benefits from access to a waste management complex – allowing ‘hands on’ training in landfill, recycling and waste composting activities. Since that time the Company has expanded in area of offered services to include Health and Safety Training and many other courses designed to support individuals and teams within the Waste Management Industry
The owners of the Company have over 75 years of direct waste management experience from Local Authority, Private Sector and the Regulatory side of the industry. Helen Toft is the Centre Manager as well as one of the owners and is a previous President of the Institute of Wastes Management. All our assessors, trainers and consultancy staff are appropriately qualified and all have significant experience in environmental management.
The spirit of the Company is very much progressive and our first aim is to ensure that customers are delighted with the services they receive and the manner in which they have been dealt with on a personal level.
