Steps and processes
Whatever the level of certification ("simple systems" or "simple and complex systems"), the certification process is similar.
Examens : 2 steps
You are evaluated on the basis of two exams, one theoretical and one practical.
- The theoretical exam, in the form of an MCQ and one hour long, covers the requirements of the "competence" decree (building, equipment, operation and sizing, regulations, improvement and proper use).
- The practical exam introduces the candidate to an individual inspection situation based on elements delivered and presented by the examiner.
