In accordance with the EWRB Facilitators guide (pg. 6)
If a participant fails to satisfactorily complete either the written or practical assessments on the course, they may be given an opportunity to resit those parts that they have failed during course time, or if they have failed by a large margin, the board will be notified and they will be offered additional training as agreed between the participant and the facilitator. (note this will be at an additional cost to the participant).
The EWRB are making a concentrated drive to ensure consistency of competency courses and to that end are carrying out an on-site audit of all competency course providers to ensure their compliance with the EWRB prescription. We will be doing all we can to ensure the integrity of the courses.
Private training and assessment
Courses can also be run for specific groups such as:
Individual companies
Plumber/gasfitters
These courses will be at times and sites as agreed.
The cost for a specific course will be at an agreed price.
