If you wish to Register with us you need to complete the registration form and return to Leppitt Associates. We will send an invoice and, once payment, is received the registration will be processed.
An invoice is sent after each visit and the next visit will occur after payment has been received.
Please also note that due to a large number of short notice cancellations there will be a charge of £600 if a visit is cancelled within less than 36 hours, although this may be waived in certain circumstances.
How long will it take to complete my award?
The time taken to complete the award depends on the experience of the learner and level of preparation prior to visits. On average, a high risk award takes about 6 days/visits and a medium risk award about 3 days/visits but this can vary depending on previous experience and the documentation available for the operations being assessed.
If required, mentoring is incorporated to facilitate progress through the award.
What is the assessment process?
On the first visit we provide a folder containing information about the award. The high risk award contains 12 units and the medium risk award contains 6 units. Units are broken down into assessment criteria. The learner has to provide a piece or pieces of evidence for each criterion. Evidence is recorded using a video: it may be observation of the site and works; paper copies of risk assessments; written site procedures; or answers to written and verbal questions. The assessment must be carried out at a permitted site, usually where the learner is employed.
