What does this Product cover?

Entry Requirements

Product Achievement Requirements

To achieve the Control of Work Refresher Training for Performing Authorities the learner will need to complete the 4 mandatory units.

Guided Learning Hours

4 hours

Note: Although the Refresher Training contains the same units as the Initial Training, the duration of the classroom-based Refresher Training is half that of the Initial Training. This is because the Refresher Training is seen as a reinforcement of performing authority principles and practices and therefore will not need the same amount of time for explanations as the Initial Training.

Validity

2 years

Please note: If the expiry date on the learners previous certificate is within 3 months prior of the course enrolment date then the date of the new certificate should correspond with the expiry date of the existing/previous certificate unless stated otherwise by the Duty Holder or Asset Owner or Operator.
