Conclusions

The EPP was developed in a number of formats and in a number of different workplaces to test the relevance and appropriateness of activities at level 3.

1. The materials were first developed through supply chain of British Aerospace, now BAE SYSTEMS, at Samlesbury Lancashire.

2. They were tried and tested in a number of Small Medium Entreprises (SMEs) through Groundwork Blackburn and Groundwork Bury in Lancashire.

3. The Web based materials have been evaluated by a number of SMEs in the Wirral, Merseyside.

4. Preston College have run the materials in a mixture of traditional training format and online delivery.

The GMB adopted the Environmental Practitioner Programme at their National Biennual Conference in June 2001

* Many trainers, advisors, participants, assessors with D32/33's, Internal, and External verifiers have been involved and the overall evaluation indicates that these materials are appropriate for level three.

* The Environmental Practitioner Programme is found to be particularly relevant to workplaces that have good quality systems, law abiding health and safety procedures, good working relations and are commited to want to "do something for the environment".
