For older regulated qualifications achieved, it is important that any supporting evidence is provided to the Certification Body during their audit process to enable them to evaluate if this is appropriate. Supporting evidence may include course learning objectives, syllabus, or qualification specification. Training records (e.g. additional refresher courses/CPD) would also be considered appropriate to ensure that knowledge has been kept up to date (this is especially important if the version of BS 5839-1 has been updated since achieving the regulated qualification).

Please check with your training provider(s) if you are unsure on the regulated status of any qualifications/certification that you hold.

The Certification Body, in their role as auditor for the BAFE SP203-1 Scheme, are responsible for determining the suitability of a regulated qualification held by nominated Lead Individual based on this information and the criteria set out in the BAFE SP203-1 Scheme Document.
