Definitions

Training/Experience examination is a method of testing whereby a candidate receives a test score based on the information contained in the submitted application and/or a questionnaire which is sent to eligible candidates. The score is calculated from weights given to various factors of education (training) and experience. Note: There is no written test. The exam is based on an analysis of your training and experience.

Written/Performance examinations are done in two phases. First the candidate is required to take a written test. Second is a performance evaluation.
