Waste and Cleansing

Energy extracted from waste can produce useful power and reduces landfill, which is good news for Scotland’s economy and the environment.

Scotland produces its fair share of waste each year, but we also produce our share of another valuable resource — trained and highly skilled staff. It’s a resource that can help us turn our waste into energy. SQA offer a wide range of relevant Waste Management qualifications all developed in association with the industry.

Qualifications are awarded jointly in Scotland with the Waste Management Industry Training & Advisory Board (WAMITAB). WAMITAB award waste qualifications throughout the UK.
