Assessment and entry considerations
Entry and recognition: Technical training does not confer design approval, statutory competence or operational authorisation. Engineering conclusions require qualified review, applicable standards and site-specific data. The proposed duration covers BEMCON learning delivery. It does not establish an external qualification, personnel certification or operating licence.
Duration basis: Proposed BEMCON taught duration; not an official qualification requirement
