Tutor: Mark Hilton Tutor: Rachel gray Tutor: Louisa Keel Tutor: Elaine Lockley
| Target audience - This course is targeted at individuals with responsibility for delivering cost-effective waste prevention activities. Delegates may, or may not, have attended the WRAP 'Waste prevention: a strategic approach' course. However, 'Waste prevention: planning and delivery' builds on the knowledge and skills acquired from the 'Waste prevention: a strategic approach' course.

Before attending WRAP's 'Waste prevention: planning and delivery' course we recommend that delegates attend the Recycling Managers Training Course - Phase 1. |
