Welcome statement
We are pleased to welcome you to this Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) training scheme with the Forestry Commission (FC) and hence Forestry Civil Engineering (FCE). FCE aims to be the UK leader in sustainable low cost civil engineering for forestry and, indeed, rural industries generally. To achieve our aims, good civil engineers such as you will be one of the keys to our success both now and in the future. FCE as an organisation and I, as Head of FCE, are committed to the scheme. As an organisation, we encourage and fully support employees aiming to achieve Technician (EngTech), Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. We have taken the view that Engineer (IEng or CEng) Trainees, regardless of their ultimate goal, should begin their path to qualification by becoming IEng. We see this as a good introduction into the way the system works, giving a possibility of an early result. It is thus encouraging and good experience for the future. As an able self-motivated individual with creative and initiative skills, you will be expected to deliver your objectives within a strong and dedicated team environment. Your ability to communicate and influence others will be important as we work towards maintaining FCEs position as a well respected internal service unit and consultant to external bodies (both public and private). In return for your contribution, you will receive broad development and real experience tailored towards your and our needs. This will give you the opportunity to achieve Chartered, Incorporated or Technician status to meet your personal and professional career aspirations. The skills that you will need to be a successful professionally qualified civil engineer are wideranging. The purpose of the scheme is to assist in your development as you work towards attaining these necessary skills. Throughout your training you will be exposed to a number of civil engineering challenges. The delivery of projects in the forest can require innovative cost effective solutions which are sympathetic to the environment. They will develop and challenge your technical and management skills and commercial awareness. You are joining a team who are trusted to deliver a significant expenditure programme to the highest level of safety. This will provide an excellent opportunity for you to realise your potential and make a meaningful contribution to the success of the FCE. Welcome to the Programme! Frank MacCulloch Head of FCE

About FC/FCE
The Forestry Commission (FC) is the Government Department responsible for the protection and expansion of Britain's publicly and privately owned forests and woodlands. The forest estate managed by the FC covers 750 000 hectares in total, and is located in England, Scotland and Wales. The Forestry Commission is both a Government Department and a statutory body with a board of Commissioners. The board consists of a Chair and up to 10 other Forestry Commissioners, who are appointed by the Queen on the recommendation of Ministers. The Commissioners have a number of specific statutory duties and powers, summarised in the Forestry Act as 'promoting the interests of forestry, the development of afforestation and the production and supply of timber and other forest products'. In practice, these mainly relate to incentives and regulation, controls on felling, plant health and managing the public forest estate. For administrative purposes, (and following devolution for Scotland and Wales), the FC is essentially 3 independent organisations, one for each country, with a small administrative centre. The central unit mainly deals with policy and strategy for forestry as a whole and is based in Edinburgh. The head of the FC, the Director General is based here. Each of the countries also has a Director. They are based in Bristol, Aberystwyth and Inverness. These Directors have to juggle the internal objectives/requirements of the FC with the differing government requirements of the individual countries. The Executive Board has nine members and is chaired by the Director General. The other members are the three Country Directors, Chief Executive of Forest Research, Directors Finance, Business Units and Human Resources and the Secretary to the Forestry Commissioners. They meet at least six times a year to discuss forestry issues that are having an impact in each of the countries and consider (where appropriate) a common policy or direction. Their role is very much a strategic one. (See below for how FBU/FCE fits into FC.) FC Values The FCs mission is to protect and expand Britain's forests and woodlands and increase their value to society and the environment. We take the lead, on behalf of all three administrations, in the development and promotion of sustainable forest management. We deliver the distinct forestry policies of England, Scotland and Wales through specific objectives drawn from the country forestry strategies so our mission and values may be different in each. But throughout, we aim to be an organisation that values: teamwork - working as teams with colleagues and others to ensure that trees, woods and forests meet the needs of people in each part of Britain professionalism - enjoying and taking pride in our work, achieving high standards of quality, efficiency and sustainability respect - treating one another with consideration and trust, recognising each person's contribution communication - being open, honest and straightforward with colleagues and others, as willing to listen as to tell learning - always learning, from outside the Forestry Commission as well as from within creativity - not being afraid to try new ways of doing things

Diversity The Forestry Commission has legal responsibilities to remove discrimination and to promote equality on the grounds of race, disability, gender (including transgender), age, sexual orientation and religion or belief. Therefore, with many other public organisations, we include these elements of equality and diversity in our considerations. All organisations in the public sector are expected to lead the way in carrying out their functions, clearly showing respect for equality and human rights. In delivering services, and devising policies and procedures, public authorities have a crucial role to play in promoting the values and practices of a fair and democratic society. The Forestry Commission is committed to developing as an organisation in which fairness and equality of opportunity are central to our business and will promote the equality and diversity agenda in policy development and deliver services that meet the needs of all social groups. Respecting and including the views of all groups in our society makes good business sense, because it widens our opportunity to deliver the best service we can to all our staff and customers. Every member of staff has a role to play in making sure that those we work with colleagues or customers are treated with respect and consideration.

FC and FCE are strongly in favour of staff development. We want all our staff to achieve their potential, both personally and professionally. We recognize the importance of personal development and the effect that this has on work/life balance. Thus, our training/development strategy does recognize that not everything has to have an immediate application or return. However, we encourage our staff to advance their knowledge in their chosen careers and to work towards achievement of professional qualifications in these disciplines. FC has an organisation-wide approach to staff development. This is linked to our staff appraisal system which includes regular meetings with your Reporting Officer and an Annual Performance Review. The actual system is in the process of change and will soon be competency based. However, following the Annual Performance Review, all staff have a Forward Job Plan (FJP) with clear targets for the coming year. There is also a Management Development Programme (MDP) which if appropriate, will help you to develop management knowledge, skills and behaviour via bespoke solutions to ensure that participants have the best opportunity to maximise their potential. The programme is running across the organisation and the benefits have already been felt within FC. An important aspect of management which has come out of this initiative has been an increase in 360 reporting which identifies strengths and areas for development. 360 degree reporting is a tool that provides each employee the opportunity to receive performance feedback from his or her supervisor and four to eight peers, reporting staff members, co-workers and customers. This allows each individual to understand how others view his/her effectiveness as an employee, co-worker, or staff member. The most effective 360-degree feedback processes provide information that is based on behaviours that other employees can see. The purpose of the 360-degree feedback is to assist each individual to understand his or her strengths and weaknesses, and to contribute insights into aspects of his or her work needing professional development. Your ICE training progress will be taken into account in your Reviews, and when assessing your career progress. It will also be considered when agreeing your job-related, personal and professional goals. An Individual Learning Plan (ILP) should be formulated following your Annual Performance Review, and reviewed during the year. It is our policy to make Reasonable Adjustments for staff with disabilities, finding means to allow them to achieve their full potential. A disability should not be a barrier to learning and gaining professional qualifications and we will work with staff with disabilities to find ways to assist their learning process. We also recognise that those who work part time, those who have caring responsibilities at home and those for whom English is not their first language may also need additional help to study to qualification. We will work with those members of staff to support and assist them to achieve their goals. Most people want to become professionally qualified sooner rather than later. This is quite understandable, and we will support you as you work towards achieving this goal. You must, of course, play your part as well. In FCE, you, as the Trainee, will need to take a positive role. Your initiative will be one of the main driving forces in your development. This can never be a top-down exercise, but we look forward to working with you towards your goal. You will need to work in partnership with your Supervising Civil Engineer and Delegated Engineer, and keep all your training records and other necessary documents up to date.

It is as well to note here that qualifications within FC/FCE are not job-specific. Promotions will always be on merit, but qualifications are valuable indicators. The ICE is the only body in the UK which can bestow the title of Chartered Civil Engineer. This is by virtue of its Royal Charter of 1828. Similarly, by virtue of its membership of EC, ICE is one of the institutions which has the authority to confirm the status of Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineer and Engineering Technician. Professional qualifications are not achieved easily, and you can be forgiven for wondering whether it is all worthwhile. However, consider this professional qualifications imply competence. The lack of professional qualifications can be seen as an indication of a shortfall in competence or commitment! This section is about ICE qualifications because we have set up this Company Approved Training Scheme (CATS) with ICE. We do appreciate that there are other qualifications and, indeed, other Institutions. We will be open to discussion should you wish to follow another route.

Getting started
The Schedule in Section 13 of this Scheme summarises the various ICE procedures, forms and guidance notes from initial registration through to the Professional Review. Your first step is to become a member of the Institution. You can join as a Student or a Graduate using the on-line process at www.ice.org.uk. The second step is to understand where you are headed. The route ahead for you is set out in ICEs 3000A-series Membership Documents and Membership Guidance Notes (MGNs). ICE membership grades fully reflect the structure of the civil engineering industry. The three EC-linked grades of CEng MICE, IEng MICE and EngTech TMICE continue as before. However, the CEng MICE qualification can be achieved both directly and through a two stage Progressive Route process. In addition, a MICE grade is now available to civil engineers who have Bachelors degrees in subjects with insufficient engineering principle content to satisfy EC. Also, Associate Membership (AMICE) is available to other Bachelor-degree qualified professionals who are not civil engineers but who work within the civil engineering team. This training scheme applies to all these potential members and membership routes. As stated earlier, we have taken the view that Engineer (IEng or CEng) Trainees, regardless of their ultimate goal, should begin their path to qualification by becoming IEng. You may feel that this is unnecessary, but it is a good introduction to the system of qualifications run by ICE and supplies an opportunity for an early result. As we noted earlier, gaining IEng would thus be encouraging and good experience for the future. The Membership Documents are: Routes to Membership ICE 3000A, 3001A, 3002A, 3003A, 3004A Development Objectives ICE 3005A Continuing Professional Development ICE 3006A The Membership Guidance Notes contain more detail of the requirements and processes and are listed in MGN 0. All the documents and forms referred to are available on the ICE website www.ice.org.uk via the Membership Downloads search facility on the homepage, through the Membership area, or at www.ice.org.uk/joining/joining_downloads.asp (See Appendix 1 of this document for a list of the above documents and forms). The ICE documents set out the training and development process (known as Initial Professional Development IPD) and also the standards and requirements for the Professional Review. Please read them carefully and note what you are expected to do. Your initial membership aim will be influenced by your current academic qualifications. You will be told this when you become a Graduate Member of ICE (the term Graduate covers members with a range of qualifications, not just degrees). If you are unclear about your personal aim after this and after reading the documents, please consult your Regional Support Team (RST). You can find them via the ICE website ICE Areas and Regions links. Your academic qualifications can be upgraded if necessary by additional approved academic study or Further Learning. A Technical Report Route is also available as a means of demonstrating academic attainment through experience in the workplace. These processes are set out in Membership Guidance Notes and other documents available on the ICE website.

Approved Training
The period of professional training and experience before the Professional Review is known as Initial Professional Development (IPD). The first part of IPD - obtaining a breadth of experience and completing the Development Objectives can be achieved by self-guided experience but it is best (and more quickly) achieved through Approved Training. The big advantage of Approved Training is that you have direct access to a senior civil engineer within FCE who will provide personal supervision and advice during your training and who will try to ensure that you are exposed to the right opportunities. By meeting regularly with your Supervising Civil Engineer (SCE), there will be possibilities for you to plan ahead for what you need to do next. At the Annual Appraisal meeting with your SCE, you can discuss your training and experience for twelve months or more ahead and plan how this will fit in with your other work commitments. You will also meet with someone from your ICE Regional Support Team (your Membership Development Officer (MDO)) during the agreement period (ideally at least twice) to discuss your progress. Frank MacCulloch, the Head of FCE, will be your SCE. An early meeting shall be arranged with him to have a general discussion about your academic background, previous experience, hopes and aspirations and personal and professional goals. The SCE shall introduce you to a Delegated Engineer (DE) who shall monitor your training on the SCEs behalf. You are expected to take the initiative in your training not wait passively for things to happen. However, your ILP will be used to assist you to plan your training and will be incorporated into your Development Action Plan (DAP). You will record what you do and what you learn. You will then provide your SCE with documentary evidence to demonstrate your progressive achievement of the Development Objectives. (See Section 14 of this document). You should realise the importance of maintaining good records. Most civil engineers keep a work diary. This can be short on detail, particularly if only an electronic diary is kept. As a Trainee, it is very important to you, and good practice, to maintain a written diary. This allows you to keep a record of your progression. This will also allow you to record a level of detail which will greatly assist you when writing your quarterly training reports and any other reports required. You will also need to keep a record of your achievements against the DOs set out in ICE 3005A. You will need to indicate how you have met each one, and your DE will verify entries at your quarterly reviews by initialling and dating the entry against the attainment level achieved. Your personal Training Agreement is based on our ICE-approved Company Scheme (CATS). This scheme is intended to include everyone in FCE who may wish to achieve any one of the five possible grades of ICE Membership set out in Section 5 above. It therefore achieves ICEs preference for combined company schemes. The ICE Routes to Membership documents explain all this in more detail and show how progression between grades can be achieved.

Before signing your Training Agreement, your SCE may ask you to produce records of your first three to six months with us. This is quite normal. The start of your agreement can be backdated by six months if necessary, so you will not lose any time under agreement. However, Training Agreements have no fixed duration or target end date so it is largely up to you how quickly you complete yours. The SCE/DE will discuss the specific details of the training scheme and this will involve what you will need. Should there be any queries regarding your educational base, the SCE shall support you in resolving them with ICE. ICE will also clarify (if necessary) which route is actually currently available to you. Advice on any additional academic study required will also be available should you wish to pursue a route that is not yet open to you. The Training Agreement registration form is to be signed by you and your SCE. A copy will be sent to ICE for registration by the SCE. There are instructions on the form. Please keep the original form safely with your records. Payment for the Agreement will be met by FCE. The Training Agreement is an agreement between an ICE-approved SCE and you, the trainee. There are mutual obligations. The SCE signs (on behalf of both FCE and ICE) to confirm that FCE will: provide you with the opportunities for Approved Training either within (FCE) or by secondment to other organisations;
and that: your employment for the period of training will depend on satisfactory work and conduct and on conditions of business allowing training to be provided.
You sign to confirm that: you will undertake to draw full benefit from the opportunities provided and observe the advice of your SCE; you will record your work in the Personal Development Record (PDR);
and that: you will maintain your membership of ICE. If you let your membership lapse (usually by non-payment of your annual subscription), your agreement will be cancelled automatically until you are reinstated. But remember, FC is willing to pay your subscription as noted earlier.
A Training Agreement is normally the quickest way to achieve ICEs training requirements. However, it has no specified duration. Essentially, once the SCE is satisfied that everything has been covered, the Completion Certificate ICE 3144 can be signed-off at a Training Review. The time it takes to get to this point is mainly up to you. If you dont play your part, dont be surprised if you fall behind.

Training Activities
You will participate in real work on real projects, not training exercises. Your professional contribution will be important to our work and hopefully grow to be more important as time goes by. You can expect to be supervised, instructed and guided in your work by experienced engineers, some of whom will be Chartered or Incorporated. They will aim to ensure that the experience available to you meets both the needs of the projects and contributes to your Development Objectives (DO). The Routes to Membership documents explain this in more detail. You should pay particular attention - from the start of your training - to the Attributes that you are required to demonstrate later at the Professional Review. The Development Objectives (see Appendix 3) are themselves based on the Attributes (see Appendix 2). Internal secondments or transfers may be necessary to ensure that all your objectives can be met. Within FC, there are engineers working on a diverse range of projects including: Roads; Bridges; Recreation; Windfarms; Renewable energy; Land reclamation/restoration; GIS; and Hi-tech road surveys and analysis It is possible that experience could be gained in these areas (subject to availability of post and workloads). External secondments may be possible if we find that it is impossible to meet your objectives. We will arrange such secondments if we deem this necessary. We will plan for possible secondments or transfers as required - but dont forget that we have internal and external clients who are expecting us to deliver their projects. So show professional commitment to your project if you are needed to work on it for a little while longer. There is no ICE requirement that trainees must spend minimum periods of time based either in a design office or on a construction site although experience of both will help trainees with their Development Objectives. However, it is expected that most trainees will spend some time on site (see Appendix A of ICE 3001A, 3002A and 3003A). (See Appendix 2 of this document). You will realise that field posts within FCE are by definition on site. As an indication of how the DOs fit in with how FCE works, additional information has been added to ICE 3005A in Appendix 3. As has been said above, the Development Objectives can be met through a wide range of experience, anywhere in the world. Please take advantage of all the opportunities that come along. You will get more support from your SCE, DE and team leaders if you look positively on new learning opportunities that also help to support the organisation. You will need to demonstrate that you have achieved the required rating for each DO. This can be done in a number of ways. The sort of evidence that you may wish to present to your SCE/DE is likely to include at least some of the following: DAP (see Section 9)
FC ICE Training Agr. Page 21 10/08/2010
Obviously, this list is not exhaustive. You may include any information that you consider helps to demonstrate your achievements.

Continuing to learn
You will learn a lot of new things very quickly at the start of your career. However, ICE expects you to maintain a personal commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) throughout your professional life. As professional engineers, we are expected to maintain and extend our knowledge and skills. CPD is part of our strategy to deliver this. You are required to maintain a Development Action Plan (DAP see ICE 3006A), which may be incorporated into your ILP. This annual plan sets out your goals and priorities for the coming year. It enables you to plan your CPD to meet your personal, professional and technical needs. You must record all your CPD in a Personal Development Record (PDR). This should be in the form shown in ICE 3006A and ICE 3190 (which is available as an MSWord download). You should also ensure that this information is recorded within the FC Yourself system. Information within Yourself can be interrogated by management, allowing priorities for training to be established. CPD is not just about attending courses. ICE 3006A explains the many ways of achieving your CPD. The minimum amounts of CPD, firstly that required to complete your Training Agreement and secondly to apply for the Professional Review are shown in the Routes to Membership documents. Currently, the requirements are: Route CEng Min. No. CPD Hours (Prior to TR) 90 (with at least 30 hours per year in the three years preceding your application) 60 (with at least 30 hours per year in the years preceding your application) 30 (with at least 30 hours in the year preceding your application) Min. No. CPD Hours (Prior to PR) 180 (with at least 30 hours per year in the three years preceding your application) 90 (with at least 30 hours per year in the three years preceding your application) 36 (with at least 30 hours in the year preceding your application)
IEng
EngTech
These figures are cumulative, not additive, i.e. the total number of hours required for CEng is 180, not 270. You should plan to achieve a well-balanced programme of CPD including technical, managerial and professional topics. To ensure this, ICE does not count any single topic for more than 30 hours. You are expected to take advantage of all CPD opportunities and to seek other ways of achieving and exceeding - the requirements. You can discuss with your SCE or DE how you plan to do this. Suitable activities outside work (or even outside civil engineering) can contribute to CPD. You must pay particular attention to Health, Safety and Welfare (see MGN 20). Construction can be a dangerous, uncomfortable profession, but it is incumbent on professional engineers to

Keeping records is an important personal discipline and a requirement of professional practice. Keeping records of your training is vital if you are to make progress. Membership Guidance Note MGN 14 gives advice on this. Your SCE will also tell you what reports he or she expects from you in the way of records and reports. Your reports will form the basis of your regular meetings with your SCE or DE. These meetings may be delayed if your records are not up-todate. Your reports should cover what you have done, what you have learned and which of the Development Objectives have been achieved (see Section 8). Alternatively, they could focus on a particular topic. They will also provide valuable practice in writing about your achievements and about technical matters in a clear and informative way. Your SCE or DE will give you valuable feedback on each report - and expect to see improvements next time! These reports will provide also you with background notes for the reports you will write later for your Professional Review. Reports for your SCE/DE will be couched in terms of both Attributes and Competencies (see Section 2 and Section 7). We do realise that this is rather unfortunate from your point of view, but FCE has to link into the main FC system, and you have to link into the ICE system. However, as noted previously, Appendix 2 has been expanded to assist you (and FCE) to understand how the two systems come together. However, the best and most valuable use for a regular report is in forward planning - for the short or medium-term future - in conjunction with your SCE and/or DE. They will need to know what you want to do and what help you may need. The report is the place to tell them what these things are. The reports produced in the previous year also provide the basis for discussions at your Annual Appraisal with your SCE. So, a report every three months or so should be considered a minimum commitment on your part - although this is not a mandatory ICE requirement. Your SCE and DE will discuss this with you so that you know what they expect. You may find it useful to use the acronym CAR(S) when providing evidence / writing reports. This stands for Context - setting the scene; Action - what you did; and Result - what was the outcome? And also Sustain how you intend to keep it going.

Your Development Action Plan (DAP) can include items from our normal Staff Appraisal process and vice versa. Your regular reviews with your training supervisors and our annual Staff Appraisal process will contribute to each other. If necessary, your SCE can be consulted, before your Staff Appraisal, about your training progress. We have already given you some information on our staff appraisal system and our views on staff development (see Section 3). However, to remind you, the main relevant documents are listed again below. To those previously listed must be added your ILP and DAP.

Development Objectives
The ICE Development Objectives are the basis of all Company Approved Training Schemes and ICE 3005A is incorporated into this scheme in its entirety. (See Appendix 3). The Development Objectives (which are based on the Attributes (see Appendix 2)) are comprehensive in their coverage. We have chosen not to add any FCE-specific objectives in order to keep our scheme as simple as possible. However, to reflect our type of work, we have added additional information on how the Objectives can be achieved. (See Appendix 3). The Development Objectives can be downloaded in Word format from the ICE website. You can therefore record your achievement either electronically or by hand in the space provided. Use as much space as you need and add additional sheets as required. You can refer to other reports or project documents, but provide at least a summary of them here to support your claim to competence. To get started, use the wording of each Objective, plus the Examples, to identify what you have to demonstrate. Think carefully, broadly and creatively about each Objective. Make use of everything you have done. Then think about the evidence you can provide of what you have done and learned. Any experience, in any area of work, paid or voluntary and in any location, can or may contribute to your achievement of the Objectives. As mentioned earlier, you may find it useful to use the acronym CAR(S). when providing evidence. To save you looking back, this stands for Context - setting the scene; Action - what you did; and Result - what was the outcome? And also Sustain how you intend to keep it going. If necessary, carry out private research on topics not directly covered by your work (this can count as CPD as well). Be positive about what you know and set out to convince your SCE or DE about your competence. It is your responsibility to provide the evidence appropriate to the achievement level required. The levels are: A Appreciation; K Knowledge; E Experience; and B - Ability. (See Appendix 3) Review your achievement regularly and start early. When you believe you have an awareness or knowledge of the content of an Objective, write out your evidence and ask your SCE or DE to assess it. They can then confirm your progressive achievement by writing the date in the appropriate box under Date of assessment. This evidence of progressive assessment is a good indication of regular monitoring of your training - and will be noted as such by the Regional Support Team. Completion of the Objectives will not by itself make you ready for the Professional Review. But it will give you a good foundation on which you can build the professional and managerial competence required.

44 44 44 45 45 46 47 49 55 65 To supplement this document ICE has placed on its website www.ice.org.uk a number of Membership Guidance Notes (MGNs) which give more detailed practical advice on a number of issues regarding membership. A list of current MGNs appears in MGN 0.
69 77
Revision A no criterion has been modified, changes relate to procedures and the principal changes are: Further explanation on how DOs should be used particularly for those with extensive experience; some additional examples added; clarification of details of those endorsing achievement.
... it is accordingly of importance that there should be a ready means heretofore of ascertaining persons who by proper training and experience are qualified...
Extract from Royal Charter
ICE values the diversity that individuals with differing backgrounds and abilities bring to the Institution; it respects all members and applicants through fairness, tolerance and consistency of professional standards; ensuring that professional qualification and membership of ICE is open to all who meet its standards.

The Title describes an outcome, which you must achieve as part of your Initial Professional Development
Page 44 10/08/2010
The Achievement Rating determines the level you must reach to satisfy the Objective The Examples provide an indication of the type of activities in which you could obtain the necessary knowledge or experience in order to satisfy the objective. These are not intended to be prescriptive and are only included to provide guidance in the interpretation of the Objective.
The DOs are to an extent task oriented. In working your way through them, you and your mentor should also bear in mind the Attributes for the various grades of membership, which you will ultimately need to demonstrate at a Professional Review. These are listed in ICE 3001A, 3002A and 3003A. In particular you should note that some Attributes are about how you carry out your duties and the characteristics which you will need to display. With advice from your mentor you should make every effort to acquire these additional characteristics, particularly in the latter part of your IPD.
4. A mentor?
If you are registered on an ICE Training Agreement you will be assigned a professional engineer as a mentor (known as a Supervising Civil Engineer - SCE). In addition, in some cases you might also be assigned a Delegated Engineer (DE) often also a professional engineer who will also support your development maybe at a more local level. If you are not registered on an Agreement you should find a mentor who should ideally be a professionally qualified civil engineer. If not, he or she should be a professional in a related construction/engineering discipline or failing that, a responsible experienced practitioner who can provide advice, guidance and support.
A K E B
You must appreciate why the DO is important and why it is done. You must have a basic understanding and knowledge of the DO and how it is achieved. You must have achieved the DO, or been part of it, working under supervision. You must have achieved the DO several times in different situations, having the competence to assist others and to work without supervision. You must have achieved the DO several times in different situations, having the competence to assist others and to work without supervision.
