Ideally, the trainee should undertake the course within the first few days of commencing work. However, there is no reason why employees should not use it on a regular basis as a refresher course. The course should take between 2 to 3 hours to complete.

The test at the end of the course is to assess the trainee's understanding of the basic concepts rather than their academic ability.
