Planning and delivery status

Delivery has not started. Q1 2027 is a target, not a guaranteed launch date. Final delivery and assessment detail may evolve before launch.

Practical
vocational skills.

Hands-on learning, connected to a useful purpose. Vocational skills meet the principles of a circular economy.

Waste management and recycling

Practical learning in waste management and recycling. Tyre recycling provides a specialist industry context within the wider waste-management and recycling programme.

Final delivery detail may evolve before launch. A dedicated tyre-recycling module may be developed later if demand supports it; it is not confirmed curriculum.

02 / Qualifications

Recognition through
qualifications.

The planned qualification is the CIWM (WAMITAB) Level 1 Award in Waste and Recycling. Practical training connects learning with recognised achievement.

“Know. Do. Show.” is CSF’s explanatory graphic language, not an official CIWM/WAMITAB model. No CSF centre approval, accreditation or awarding-body endorsement is claimed.

Why recognition matters

Planned programme

Planning, not delivery outcomes.

The programme is agreed in principle, not yet live. Q1 2027 is a delivery target; up to 120 learners per year is designed capacity, not enrolment or an achieved outcome. No verified programme outcomes are reported. Additional partner and assessment arrangements will be published only after approval.
