Whistlestop Waste Legislation Training Course

Outline Programme

• The Training Course would normally take approximately 6-7 hours including stops for coffee and lunch.
• Whilst the course will be based on a large number of Powerpoint slides, its main benefit for delegates comes through debate and discussion to relate the issues to delegate’s own experiences and scenarios.
• We would normally finish with a brief test paper to give delegates an opportunity to see what they may have misunderstood.
• Certificates of Attendance are normally provided for each delegate at the end of the course.
