This qualification involves two assessments:

1. Open Book Exam: You can do this at home or another suitable quiet space. You’ll receive a scenario about a workplace situation and then asked to complete tasks using the scenario and your knowledge from your studies. You have 24 hours to finish, but typically takes 4-5 hours.
