Course FAQs

  • IWCF Levels 2, 3, and 4 are designed to be sequential and first-time candidates are expected to complete Level 2 before progressing to Level 3 or 4.

    However, the training levels are also designed to be role-specific and dependent on the candidate’s work experience. If you are unsure which level is right for you feel free to give us a call to chat further.

    See below for more information about each Level.

This solution allows accredited centres to accommodate the requirement for training during the COVID-19 pandemic, whilst maintaining high standards and integrity.
