Overview
The assessor tests your competency in your chosen category. When you have successfully passed the assessment, the assessor issues you with a notice of assessment as evidence of your competence.
You or your employer may contact an assessor and arrange for an assessment. You may need to provide evidence of training, qualifications or relevant prior learning or experience.
Training
You may train at work or attend a training course. All training must be under the direct supervision of an appropriately qualified person.
Keep log books or records of your training. They must be countersigned by the supervisor. These records are to be shown to the assessor prior to your assessment.
