Voorkennis
This training does not require any prior knowledge.
The course is aimed at electricians and maintenance technicians of electrical installations, who also have a supervisory role.
According to the law, competent persons are employees who, through knowledge obtained through training or experience, can assess the dangers associated with the work to be carried out themselves, and can determine the measures to eliminate or minimize the risks.
We organize the BA4 and BA5 courses as completely separate courses. So you do not have to first follow BA4 and then move on to BA5.
• Either you choose BA4 = Warned persons (1 day)
• Or you choose BA5 = Competent persons (2 days)
If you have already followed a BA4 course and want to follow the BA5, you can! There will be some repetition.
If you successfully complete the BA5 course, you are also automatically recognized as a BA4 – warned person.
Getuigschrift
After the training, you will receive a teaching certificate with the results of the test. The real attestation must be made up by the employer itself.
