Introduction

The Scheme provides three types of training to help the candidate become familiar with the RCx process, which includes planning, investigation, implementation, and ongoing commissioning. Three types of examinations are also designed to assess the comprehension of core concepts, common practices, and relevant knowledge of the candidate.
