The theory component is delivered in a classroom environment using department-approved training resources and includes two simulated practical exercises conducted in a controlled environment.

These simulations enable participants to experience implementing different set up scenarios that they would not normally be exposed to in their current on-the-job role.

It is expected that this component of the course will be delivered to new industry entrants in a minimum of eight hours. This timeframe may be extended if additional training needs are identified during the course.

The practical component consists of a minimum of three on-the-job set ups relevant to the candidate’s current working situation.
