It is possible to combine both the theory and practical requirements of the course at the same time depending on your needs. We however usually give trainee assessors up to four weeks to complete the unit questions that come with unit one. They will be supported by their assessor and be expected to participate on our e-learning platform for further learning and to meet guided learning hours. Once they are done with the theory and ready for the practical part of the course, they can then go ahead to prepare, plan and conduct assessments with their two assessors. Their allocated assessor will support the trainee during their IQA journey with their own two assessors.
