CIWM Accredited Course
' Without the training our understanding of the changes introduced in the Love Food Hate Waste campaign in 2009 would be minimal.  Since my attending the course, the Council has improved the overall quality of the communications campaign.  Information from training helped us to make our messages consistent with National campaigns and across the Partnership.  It is felt that the whole design process is now more efficient and better tailored to the local situation'.  Kornelia Korzac, Waste Campaigns Officer - Cambridgeshire County Council.

Aims
