It is beneficial to attend the Administration awareness course but not essential.
We need the contact details of the learner so we can get in touch and arrange the induction onto the course - this will be done as soon as we receive the booking request, the published course date is merely a cut off point in the schedule.
The learner will need the opportunity to carry out the assessed activities in order to allow an assessment of competence.
