The practical assessment is where you show you can do the job safely and competently. Assessors are not looking for speed — they are looking for safe, controlled, methodical work.
Before the day
- Review your course notes, especially pre-use checks and hazard identification.
- Get a good night’s sleep and arrive early with your PPE.
- Bring identification and any documents your training center requested.
During the assessment
- Talk through your pre-use checks and point to what you are inspecting.
- Set up the equipment properly before starting any task.
- Work smoothly; jerky or rushed movements cost more marks than taking your time.
- If you are unsure, stop and ask — assessors value safe decisions.
After the assessment
Listen to the assessor’s feedback, whatever the result. Successful candidates receive a certificate that can be verified online at any time.
