The assigned assessor will agree to a meeting at your workplace on a day and time suitable for you. Then, with your help and involvement, your assessor will decide on the assessment methods , such as monitoring your job as well as asking questions to give you a chance to demonstrate your knowledge of all the relevant guidelines and requirements.
