Any students who are found to be ‘Not Yet Competent’ will be able to undertake a re-assessment at a later date and pay the associated fee.

The course is delivered over two days consisting of four modules, each with a separate assessment. The course runs from 8:00am until 4:00pm. Students must arrive 15 minutes early on the first day to complete the registration and enrolment forms.
