Other Important matters to be noted and considered:

Applicants will be subject to an Occupational
Health Screening to establish their suitability
for the Placement which is a mandatory
part of this programme. Once course would
have started, failure to present a successful
health screening (as per an established and
set Protocol), will result in not being in a
position to start the work placements. This
will eventually preclude the student from
successful completion of the course. Prior to
embarking on Work Placement, the student
must also provide evidence of a clean police
conduct certificate.
