Site Waste Management Plans from the Academy Experts...
The Environmental Academy has a strong reputation for helping construction businesses manage their environmental performance and improve site efficiency. This led to DEFRA appointing consultants from the Academy to run a pilot study and develop training material to assist construction businesses to comply with the requirements of Site Waste Management Plans.
We offer practical, vocational training on SWMP awareness (level 2) as well as detailed training/mentoring to write and implement a SWMP for an organisation (Level 3). Both courses are endorsed by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).
All learners will be provided with all the necessary support materials. Delegates attending the level 3 course will also be provided with a printed and electronic copy of a template SWMP and associated procedure developed by The Environmental Academy.
