How you're assessed, and what you get

Tasks and checks in every lesson, then an online assessment at the end. 80% to pass.

Shows that the learner passed the Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) assessment.

Every certificate has a unique reference that anyone can check online. Certificates record what you completed or attended with us. They are not a regulated qualification and do not by themselves confirm competence for a particular role. Under the Building Safety Act, competence is skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours. This online course helps you evidence knowledge. Skills are evidenced on a practical course, where you're assessed in person. Experience and behaviours come from your work.
