From entry to management level, and including license to practice, our qualifications portfolio has been developed based on National Occupational Standards designed by industry, for industry.
Single or Groups of Units
Units are the building blocks of every qualification, representing bite sized chunks of learning that provide a stairway towards a full set of useable skills. By utilising unit achievement, WAMITAB is able to provide a truly flexible approach to skills acquisition.
This is necessary because not all learners or employers need a full qualification to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to do their jobs well. By choosing one or more units which support a specific job role; employers can build a bespoke programme that works for their business.
Innovation
WAMITAB is also able to work with employers to develop new training and qualifications, where there is evidence of market need. By utilising the industry knowledge of the employer, the educational experience of our dedicated standards team and our regulated position as an awarding organisation, we are able to work together to produce employer-led provision that is designed to improve business effectiveness and meet the needs of learners.
