Are You Taking Your Continuing Competence Test in 2025?

If you are due to take your CIWM Continuing Competence test in 2025, then our COTC Preparation E-Learning course is the perfect way to update your technical knowledge prior to taking your test!

We are happy to announce that we have developed THREE new modules which are now available: Healthcare Waste, Landfill Closed and Landspreading.

Why do I need to sit the CIWM Continuing Competence exam?

In order to meet the requirements of the CIWM Operator Competency scheme, all technically competent CIWM trained people must demonstrate that they have kept their knowledge up to date by taking the CIWM Continuing Competence test every two years.

What is included in the COTC Preparation E-Learning?

Featuring a range of interactive activities, this revision course has been written around the syllabus of the Continuing Competence test. With practice test questions throughout, you'll get valuable insight into what to expect on the day of your test, ensuring that you'll be fully prepared.
