Training Course Methods

A high proportion of practical exercises and simulated assessments will be supplements with video and classroom based tutorials. Supervisors have to demonstrate the ability to successfully monitor a site and compile written reports in order to successfully complete the course.

A training group may contain a mix of both supervisors and operatives; however, a minimum of 2 operatives must be available for supervisors to carry out the monitoring exercises, thus enabling the most effective development of the candidates.
