WRAP Recycling Managers Training Programme

Courses are aimed at recycling and waste managers in local authorities and those from not-for-profit / community organisations or private waste management companies who are directly involved in delivering and managing local authority recycling services.

This is a new blended learning programme with three elements:

  1. Required pre-course e-learning to ensure delegates have a common understanding of certain key concepts and terminology;

  2. Face to face study to allow application of knowledge; and

  3. Post course, work based reports and discussion forums to extend and consolidate learning.
