a. Document assessment based on two emissions reduction plans and/or equivalent supplementary supporting evidence demonstrating two instances of competence against each of the 23 criteria (within 3 categories) as requested in the application form. Applicants are advised to ensure their evidence pack enables them to show themselves in the best light whilst keeping the number of different documents submitted to the minimum necessary. Applicants are also advised to ensure multiple submissions are properly cross-referenced so the Assessor can quickly find the evidence you wish them to review from the details you have written in the application form.

b. An Interview based around the submitted documents will test and explore the applicant’s ability to apply the knowledge and principles required to prepare and review an emissions reduction plan. The interview will comprise the applicant and the assessor. Interviews will be recorded for reference and audit purposes. The interviewer, upon occasion, may have an observer present for educational, monitoring and assurance purposes. The observer’s role unless otherwise stated is to observe and take notes and will not perform the role of interviewer.
