Assessment and entry considerations

Assessment: Observed role-specific tasks in an authorised workplace or approved simulation, knowledge checks and review of an air conditioning installation portfolio. Actual workplace evidence is required where the eventual award or role specifies it.

Entry and recognition: Initial role-suitability, literacy and numeracy assessment; access to required practice resources and qualified supervision. Additional local entry conditions must be checked.

Practice boundaries: Gas, refrigerant, pressure-system, lift and electrical work require applicable licences and employer authorisation. The programme does not confer legal permission to perform restricted work.

Credential status: Proposed BEMCON programme only. No registered award, framework level, credit value or external certification is assigned.

Duration basis: Original curriculum-planning estimate, not an official prescribed qualification duration. The approved qualification specification, entry assessment and mandatory placement requirements take precedence.
