Joint Certification Scheme

To receive the list please Email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Because of the wide range of circumstances in which practitioners operate the certificate is endorsed to show the fields of work relevant to the assessment of competence and, where appropriate, limitations within those fields.
