Record of
assessment When the
independent assessment by the competence assessment has been completed (step
6 in the diagram above), and provided that the competence assessor has
decided that you meet the required competence standard, he or she will issue
you with a copy of the Competence Assessment Checklist as a record of the
assessment, which you should keep safely in your logbook. Your licence Your Competence
Assessor will send the completed Competence Assessment Checklist to an
approved Assessing Agent who will, after internal verification, arrange for
your licence application to be sent to the IRSE offices in The IRSE
scrutinises the licence application and the supporting information that
accompanies it, and provided that all is in order, it will issue you with a
licence. Currently the
licence is a yellow encapsulated card (*1), about the size of a credit
card. It will bear a unique
number, and on it will be listed the specific licence categories (and where
appropriate, the modules) for which you have been assessed as competent, and
their expiry date(s). Each
licence category is normally valid for five years, at which point a surveillance
must take place in order for the licence to be revalidated for a further 5
years, after 10years the licence will need to be renewed. Keep the licence
in a safe place (*2), so that you can show it (or quote the licence number)
when required. Enter the details
of the licence in the appropriate section of your logbook. You should also place a copy of the
completed Competence Assessment Checklists in your logbook. Remember that
obligations are placed upon you as a licence holder. Click here
for further details. *1 The yellow
style licence will shortly be replaced by a white plastic card bearing the
similar details but also with the photograph of the licence holder. You may however still receive your
licence as a yellow card but a new photo style card will be issued shortly
afterwards *2 You will be charged a fee for
replacement if you lose your licence or it is stolen |
