Certification

Practical assessment is ongoing by the tutor, and a three year qualification will be issued to those who satisfy the criteria. In addition, the HSE strongly recommend that all learners undergo an annual refresher programme of three hours. Learners must be a minimum of 14 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment. A learner cannot assume a responsibility in the workplace until they reach the age of 16, and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the learner is suitable for that role. The certificate will expire as dated on the certificate, irrespective of age.
