a) Near vision shall permit reading a minimum of Jaeger number 1 or equivalent type and size
letters (e.g. Times Roman N4.5), at not less than 30cm on a standard Jaeger test chart for
near vision, in at least one eye, corrected or uncorrected;.
The evidence must be in the form of a certificate issued by a medically recognised person
within the previous 24 months, covering all of the above points. With all of the above eligibility
requirements the onus is on the candidate to provide the necessary evidence prior to the
examination. An examination appointment will not be confirmed until the evidence has been
received. Subsequent to certification, tests of visual acuity shall be carried out annually.
2 Examination Procedure
2.1 Written Examination
The written examination consists of multiple choice questions, designed to test the candidate's
knowledge of the subject matter, engineering principles, and syllabus.
Candidates will be required to submit an application form. All the information requested must
be on these forms. No applications can be considered confirmed until receipt of correctly
completed documents. Application forms ask for specific details of experience and training
and must be signed to the effect that these details are correct.
In the event of a false statement being discovered on forms, any examination undertaken will
be declared null and void. A certificate is automatically invalidated if there are any outstanding
examination fees in respect of that certificate.
Examinations may be taken at any one of a number of Test Centres in the UK and overseas.
Lists are available on request.
3 CERTIFICATION
3.1 Results notices
All candidates will be sent a results notice. This notice will also be sent to the organisation paying
the examination fee, if not paid by the candidate.
Two copies of a certificate of proficiency will be issued to the sponsoring organisation. Duplicate
certificates to replace those lost or destroyed will be issued only after extensive enquiries.
Candidates who fail to obtain a certificate may attempt one retest on those parts of the
examination in which success was not achieved. The retest must be completed within one year of
the initial examination; otherwise candidates will have to repeat the complete examination.
The retest (or complete re-examination) may not be taken within 30 days of the previous
examination.
