Suitability

Those who already hold a 17^th Edition qualification and those contractors wanting to keep in touch with all the latest regulation changes are ideal candidates to complete this workshop course.

The third amendment workshop covers the changes brought about by this update and does not cover the entire 17^th Edition.

Those not already holding a 17^th Edition qualification will need to complete one to ensure they understand the regulations surrounding work that falls under 17^th Edition.

Those completing this workshop will be some of the first to become up to date with the new regulations. This ensures that when they come into force in July 2015, they will already be able to carry out work to these standards.
