What happens after I have enrolled?

We will register the learner(s) with the Awarding Body CIWM (WAMITAB). We will then allocate the learner with an assessor who is an expert in that field. The assessor will make contact with the learner to set up an introductory visit. During this visit, the assessor will explain the assessment process and produce an assessment plan which will detail how he/she intends to assess that learner. This will range from observations of the learner undertaking a task which demonstrates their skills.

Professional discussions with the learner to demonstrate understanding. Written answers to a series of questions to demonstrate underpinning knowledge. Naturally occurring evidence (work products) such as meeting minutes, risk assessments, site diary etc to demonstrate occupational competence and operational involvement. The assessor will then visit the learner at various stages throughout the award to assess the work that has been produced. Mentoring can be incorporated into the process where a learner is struggling to meet the standards.

Our promise to you is that you will have all the support you need to be successful in your course. It is impossible to fail your qualification, you will either be deemed competent or not yet competent. Once the learning outcomes and assessment criteria have been met, you will be awarded with your CIWM (WAMITAB) COTC/OCC. This will enable you to be the technically competent manager (TCM) for your site. If you wish to act as a TCM then you will need to sit a continuing competence test every two years.
