Assessment
Written assessment and continuous observation by the trainer.
Candidates need a basic command of English. So whilst we are often able to provide support to people who for example do not have English as a first language, our ability to do so is limited by the time available and the number of people who require assistance, although we may be able to make special arrangements if requested in advance.
Certification
Successful candidates will receive a certificate which is valid for three years.
