Assessment is carried out by an Approved Centre - this is typically a company, client site or training provider/college. Your company may already be an Approved Centre; if not, there is the option to become one in your own right, or to employ the services of a third party. In this case, your company has a contract for assessment services direct with the Approved Centre.
