Waste Survey Training
2020 and 2021 were challenging years to present in person training but we managed to complete four courses in 2020 and another two in 2021. With the reduction in Covid requirements in 2022 in person training was much easier to present. We managed to complete four courses in 2022, three courses in 2023 and two courses in 2024. The total number of trained people is now 229 new waste surveyors throughout the interior.
The course content and length were well received with many very favorable comments from the participants. Course interest was less in 2024 and up to December I have only received a few enquiries for 2025. If you are thining about taking a course in 2025 please drop me a note so I know you are out there. I start planning courses in late February so please revisit the website for more updates.
