Further Information
Following successful completion of the Lookout, candidates undertaking initial lookout training will be required to complete the e-learning and the post training development workbook following their initial lookout training in order to convert their competence from ‘probationary’ to ‘competent’. This must be successfully completed within a 12 month period, whilst under probationary competence. The completion of this E-learning module and the post training development workbook is the responsibility of the sponsor.  Sponsors will be required to record the completion of the elearning and the post training development workbook by logging an Event Notification on Sentinel.  Upon completing this, the competency will then be awarded a further 2 years from that date.  Please click on the below link for a copy of the Lookout PTD Workbook
