General

Assessment

The candidates knowledge will be assessed by a written exam. These exams are currently held at two venues, one in Chester and the other in Hitchin. Exam dates and exam centre details can be found here .


After the assessment

Successful completion of both the mandatory and elective units results in the issue of a letter, setting out the level of knowledge you have obtained in each unit.

There are four knowledge levels, as set out below:

  • Level 1 - Expert
  • Level 2 - Practitioner
  • Level 3 - Supervised Practitioner
  • Level 4 - Trainee

Only levels 1, 2 and 3 will be deemed a sufficient pass that a competence certificate can be awarded when the evaluation and acceptance of experience is carried out.
