Pool Water Test
In order to complete the practical pool water testing assessment candidates must have access to a pool water testing kit and pool water. This element can be video recorded and submitted to the tutor, or completed via Teams / Zoom etc. Whichever method is used, however, it must allow for recording, have a suitable working camera and sound capabilities. The course tutor will explain the expectations to pass the practical assessment during the course.
The recordings must be submitted within 10 days of the completion of the course. This is so that certification is not held up for the rest of the course. Should they not be received in time candidates may fail and have to pay an admin fee to access via the resit route (fee for a resit is currently £25).
Fails / Resits
Candidates are entitled to two attempts at the online assessment. Should a candidate fail a module of the assessment they will only need to resit that one element. There is a fee of £25 for re-assessment regardless of the number of modules needing resitting.
IATDE will support and assist candidates should they need to resit although should additional tutoring be required this may be chargeable.
Candidates who fail the online assessment twice will need to re-attend the course.
There is no charge for having to resubmit pool water tests or workbooks as long as this is within the 10 day window at the end of course completion. Should times exceed this there is a minimum charge of £25.
