I is offered once each month as an 8 hour classroom course. Full qualification is initially obtained by passing a written test and performing a graded practical factors exercise. See below for more on the practical.
All testing is done in closed book fashion.
A guide to prepare for the practical is in the RW-I study guide. These sessions are scheduled in advance through the ULO or RCG on either Tuesday or Thursday. This is the case regardless of the training delivery mode used. The exercise takes about 20 minutes to complete. Changes being implemented Online interactive training module to be available mid - 2001.
