How is the Assessment process organised?
Training Competent PersonsAll OFTEC assessments are in modular format, and most of our assessments result in a certificate issued by a UKAS accredited Certification Body for the purpose of registering with OFTEC.
At present we have seven Certification Bodies able to issue certificates for oil assessments, BPEC Ltd, ERS, NIC Certification, CITB, Logic Certification Ltd, Blueflame Certification Ltd and UK Certification Ltd.
You are not allowed to be assessed by the person who trains you, and you are not allowed to take your assessment on equipment that you have trained on. (ISO 17024)
OFTEC Assessment: examples as follows–
- OFT10-101 Domestic/light commercial oil firing servicing and commissioning course for Pressure Jet appliances.
- OFT10-102 Servicing and Commissioning of oil and bio-liquid fuelled Vaporising burner fired domestic fixed combustion appliances < 45kW.
- OFT10-105E Installation of oil & bio-liquid fuelled fixed combustion appliances & systems < 100kW
- OFT10-600a Installation of oil fuel storage and supply systems connected to fixed combustion appliances.
There are two types of assessment:
1. Theory only – multiple choice questions
2. Theory and practical assessment
During theory assessment, you are able to resource information from OFTEC Technical Books and are allowed to have a second attempt if necessary to gain the correct answer.
During a practical assessment, an OFTEC Approved Assessor will observe you undertaking practical activities on appliances and equipment.
