PGCert Sustainable Waste Management

This unique online Postgraduate Certificate in Sustainable Waste Management will help your organisation to save money through waste reduction.

This online course will enable you to identify where your own waste management could be improved and to put that into practice - reducing wastage, reducing landfill tax costs and ensuring you stay within the law.

The course provides you with a high quality learning experience which can be accessed from work or home.

The flexible, work based, online course is accredited by the University of Leeds and the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM).
Work-based learning

As every place of work is unique and employees have different work roles and experiences, the Waste and Sustainability Project puts you in charge of your learning.

You will follow a progression path through tailor-made Waste Management Modules.

Work-based learning is a modern way of creating university-level learning in the workplace. Its special work-linked features enable learning to take place at, through and be centered on, the working environment.

The course is specifically designed to be relevant to the work-place. You will immediately be able to put new ideas and strategies learnt through the course into practice in your business.
