themselves and their employer of their achievements during the course. Based on
the results obtained and evaluated by your training instructor, a certificate will be
issued. The assessment of competence can only be judged at the time of the
course. This does not mean that the trainee can be classed as an expert, it is
important for the trainees to implement the techniques they have learned on their
