The course contains a large proportion of supervised practical analysis of real asbestos samples in our asbestos training laboratory. The course includes a full range of powerpoint presentations, video footage, accompanying notes and additional course materials.

Qualification:The P401 proficiency course contains a short answer questions examination under the supervision of a BOHS invigilator and a practical assessment undertaken by an independent assessor. The practical assessment will include the analysis of 6 AIMS samples. Successful completion of the course will give delegates the practical knowledge and skills to be able to carry out the analysis of samples for the presence of asbestos in accordance with HSG248. Successful delegates are presented with the BOHS proficiency certificate.

Practical assessments:The short answer questions exam and/or the practical assessment can be undertaken separately from the main course if so desired. However, we strongly recommend that the candidates level of knowledge and experience be considered before they are booked onto these.
