To provide delegates with refresher training inputs to enable to pass the reassessment exams for each unit.

This is a two Day course covering all units. Day one provides refresher training and revision exercises

Day two consists of multiple choice exam papers for each of the Units that are required to be re-registered.

As the exams are 'open book' candidates are allowed the following documents for reference whilst completing the exams:

We will provide reference materials for use during the refresher training and clean copies of these documents for the examination day, however we would strongly advise candidates to re-familiarise themselves with these documents prior to attending their course.

As these exams have to be completed under timed examination conditions, please contact us prior to booking if any of your staff have special needs or learning difficulties as further information may be applicable to these candidates.
