The course is delivered in an intense format with a number of training days being followed by a series of practical assessment which ultimately lead to the overall qualification.

If you wish to enrol 6 or more learners from a single organisation, we can arrange to come to your own premises to deliver the necessary assessment and training days.

There are no formal entry requirements for learners undertaking this qualification however, as a centre, we would need to ensure that the learner has the potential and opportunity to successfully gain the qualification.

Training would be delivered within one of our training centres:

• Rayleigh
• Chelmsford

It is anticipated that the length of the programme will be 1 to 2 weeks although this will depend on the learner’s progress through the course.
