Who is affected by the requirements for periodic training?
Training is delivered by training centres that are approved by the JAUPT on behalf of the competent authority. The JAUPT also approve the content, title and method of delivery of each training course. Approved training centres deliver courses which are a coherent programme of learning of at least seven hours. The seven hours excludes any breaks; only direct training and contact time (time with a trainer) count towards the periodic training requirement. There are no tests or exams involved but training centres will be required to evaluate each course to ensure that those attending have benefited from the training they have received.
