Training or Assessment during COVID-19

Attending a training course or assessment during COVID-19

It is important for candidates enrolling on training courses and assessments to understand that no PPE or other protective measures can provide 100% protection from infection with, or transmission of, COVID-19. Whilst the awarding organisation (RLSS UK and IQL UK) have provided guidance to training provider to mitigate risk so far as reasonably practicable, there will still be an element of risk involved in attending the training course and assessment.

The training course contains practical skills where PPE may be required, it is your responsibility to follow the Trainer and Assessor instructions and wear the required PPE. There are some skills where PPE is not suitable and other measures have been put in place.

 

Equipment required

In addition to equipment required for the training course/assessment, you will also be requested to make the following arrangements to help manage the risks associated with COVID-19:

• Bring pens and note paper you can use throughout the training and assessment
• Wear swimwear under your clothes for sessions in the water
• Bring food and drink to be consumed
