Albion Environmental Ltd director, Alasdair Meldrum is delighted to have been appointed as an External Verifier for SQA for all waste management awards. Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) approves all centres in Scotland who deliver the Waste Management Certificate of Competence Awards (COTC) which eventually lead to WAMITAB awards. Alasdair Meldrum has completed his induction course and will now be allocated centres to check over 2006 and 2007. The purpose of External Verification visits is to ensure centres comply with SQA and Centre requirements. This is particularly important to ensure candidates are dealt with fairly and qualification standards are maintained.
On hearing of his appointment Alasdair Meldrum stated “it is a great honour to be appointed to this position, however there is a great deal to learn about SQA procedures. I am delighted to be given this opportunity to ensure standards within the Waste Management Certificate of Competence (COTC) scheme which ultimately leads to WAMITAB qualifications, are being maintained. I am also looking forward to learning from good practice provided by other centres”.
