Event details
Most of you will be aware of The Building Safety Act 2022 and the subsequent amendments to Building Regulations 2023 put in place requirements for both individuals and organisations to prove competence.
I will cover:
- What is FESS UK Employers Forum structure and how it is leading the way.
- What the challenges facing companies, associations, institutions, inspectorates and the impact proof of competence it will have on them and individuals.
- What is the FESS Sector competency card structure and how individual’s competence can be demonstrated against it.
- What are the experienced worker routes for assessment and do you need retraining.
- Where do you get your competence assessed and what is involved. What is the cost and will you need to get it renewed?
- How you keep yourself up to date on all of this– the FESS UK web site.
All attendees will receive a CPD certificate.
