1. Training providers and examination supervisors: The Training Provider must: - ensure that there is sufficient space between desks.
- ensure the supervisor sight and check each candidate's admission slip against the examination candidate list.
- have a contingency plan for when there is insufficient space to house the candidates programmed to undertake the examination.
- ensure the supervisor is not distracted by other work, also they must ensure the room is quiet.
- prior to the examination paper being issued, be explicit as to what material is permitted and what material is not permitted in the examination room.
- advise candidates on the time allowed to complete the specific type of examination being conducted. i.e. EST
A = 2 hours, EST B = 2 hours, Electricians' Theory and Regulations = 3 hours, Inspectors' = 3 hours, Tradespersons' - plumber or gasfitter only = 2.5 hours, plumber/gasfitter combined 2.5 hours.
- require candidates to place anything other than authorised material in the front of the room.
- inform candidates that any person using unauthorised material will have the material removed and be reported to the Board. The Board, in turn, could invalidate that candidate's examination.
In addition: - where a candidate is not known to the examination supervisor, the supervisor will require the candidate to provide proof of their identity. A passport or photo-driving licence would be a suitable document for this purpose.
- supervisors must provide the 10 minute reading time before allowing a candidate to commence the examination, then strictly adhere to the time allocated to that examination - specified and printed on the examination cover sheet.
- the examination supervisor must collect the papers and ensure that any extra pages used are labelled with the candidate's number and securely attached to the examination paper.
