Dear Nozzle Operator Examiners,
We hope this message finds you well. It´s time for another update from EFNARC!
Some of you have had questions about the possibility to issue a proof of attendance to operators who complete only one or several modules of the Nozzle Operator Training, rather than completing the whole program which consists of 5 Modules.
Do trainees need to complete all 5 modules?
Thanks to our modular approach, attendees can complete each module separately, on different dates, and at different locations, even with different Examiners.
A current scenario is the Examiner conducting the theory training (module 1), theory exam (module 2), and simulator training (module 3), and then schedule the practical assessment (module 5*) at another location and date.
Attendees who solely wish to gain knowledge from the course, without necessarily obtaining the certificate, can choose to attend one or several modules. Site managers or supervisors may be individuals interested in the theory (module 1) only. In this case, an examiner could offer the theory training to a larger group and the remaining modules to the rest of the group.
*Note that the practical assessment (module 5) can only be undertaken once we have proof of the required experience (module 4)
Which proof of attendance can be issued for individual modules?
Examiners are free to issue their own proof of attendance documents to attendees of their courses, regardless of whether they have completed all modules. However, please make sure to not exploit the EFNARC trademark by issuing documents that could be mistaken for an EFNARC certificate.
EFNARC will only issue one certificate, obtainable solely upon completion of all five course modules, including submission of the required of proof of experience.
We hope this clarification addresses any concerns you may have had. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
