What's Involved?

You will need to complete a technical test or series of technical tests at a test centre, which are based on practical, common activities within your trade.

Once successfully completed, you will be Connected Competence-certified for 3–4 years, depending on your specialist trade. At the end of this period, you will renew your current competence by re-sitting the technical test(s).

The tests are set to demonstrate base technical knowledge and skill and there is no increase in difficulty – the goal of these assessments is to prove base, standardised and continuous technical competence.
