There is an expectation that suppliers will be innovate in its delivery to maximise learning opportunity/outcomes. Target Audience: The primary target Audience (training recipients) will be the Environment Agency’s area Regulated Industry site officers and national permitting officers in waste and installations teams but will be available to other sectors where AD is present. It is expected that these officers will directly regulate site activities through inspections, audits and desk-based compliance assessments.
