This is usually achieved through an ITEC examination, course work or practical assessment, however if a candidate has clear evidence of previous achievement then this may be taken into account and may exempt them from one or more assessments.
ITEC should also be informed of any candidates with additional needs at the time of enrolment. Please refer to ITEC Procedure for Accrediting Candidates Prior Learning (APL) for details.
