CERTIFICATE OF
COMPETENCE IN WORKPLACE NOISE RISK ASSESSMENT
This Certificate course aims to provide a recognised course
of education and training to enable persons to carry out workplace
noise assessments in a competent manner, as required by the
Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. Since the course
was first run in 1989, more than 2000 people have gained the
Certificate. With the introduction of the new Regulations
in 2005, demand for competent noise exposure assessments is
increasing and this course provides those registering with
the latest information and training to meet the demands of
this new legislation. It is designed to provide a background
of basic acoustics combined with `hands on' practical experience
of industrial noise measurements and associated assessment
of workplace noise exposure.
Students take the Certificate at an Accredited Centre. Attendance
at the Centre is usually for four days, plus the examination
day, which includes a practical test. Examinations are currently
held at the Centres twice per year, in Spring and Autumn.
Most Centres run the course for the four days preceding the
examination date.
