The process of achieving this award varies depending on the units selected; some units will require the Delegate to answer a question paper, and some require you to demonstrate your ability and understanding of a subject physically, but in the main, you will find most units are split into a question paper for half of the unit and physical performance for the other half to demonstrate your knowledge and skills fully.
This may also require them to gather documents relevant to their role such as risk assessments, environmental procedures, check sheets, waste transfer notes, consignment notes, plant defect records and other such documents!
On completion, the Centre will claim your certificate, which will be scanned, and a copy sent in advance of the original.
