Introduction

1.1 Purpose and Objectives

PDO needs to ensure all those working for it are properly trained in the common hazards, risks and controls associated with its oil and gas exploration and production activities. This training provides sufficient HSE knowledge and understanding, generally at an Awareness level, of the common workplace hazards, risks and controls to be found and used within its concession area, in the Sultanate of Oman.

This Procedure sets out how PDO and contractor staff identify, select, book and attend the correct HSE courses and assessments, and how their compliance against contract requirements and PDO HSE training specifications should be monitored.

3 Scope and Applicability

1.2.1 This procedure sets out the way in which people identify:

• the PDO Approved HSE training or Assessment they require,

• when they require it,

• where they can receive it,

• how they can book a course or assessment,

• How course or assessment bookings should be confirmed,

• how attendance and performance is recorded,

• when they must be reassessed,

• how to schedule the required performance reassessments, and

• how compliance with specific contract requirements in Document C9 and PDO’s HSE training requirements are to be recorded.

2. This Procedure applies to all PDO staff and PDO contracting staff, irrespective of their physical location in PDO’s concession area.

4 Review and Improvement

1. This specification will be reviewed at least every 4 years to ensure it continues to meet company HSE training needs.

2. Annual reviews of individual course specifications detailed in SP 1157 HSE Training Specifications will be carried out. Any major revisions or inclusion of additional courses thought necessary, will produce a review of that document as a whole, and as a consequence may lead to amendment, addendum or revision of the summary details in Appendices A – G and elsewhere in this document, at the same time.

5 Distribution

3. The following groups will be advised by email of any revision to this document, either directly or through their contract holder. An electronic link to the revised document will be included in the advisory email to enable viewing or download.

• PDO Heads of Corporate MSE and Learning & Development, the HLD8 HSE Training team,

• PDO & Contractor Line and Functional HSE Advisers/Managers, and HSE Training focal points

• PDO HSE Training course Technical Authorities and their respective CFDH’s.

• PDO Contract Holders

• PDO Approved HSE Training Providers (commercial)

• Contracting companies approved to deliver PDO HSE courses in-house to their own staff.

• PDO and Contractor Skill pool managers

• PDO’s HSE Training Services Contractor.

• PDO’s First Aid Training Services Contractor.

• PDO’s Defensive Driving Training Contractor.

• PDO’s Defensive Driving Assessment Contractor.

4. All other PDO staff will be advised of revisions to the document via a News List announcement using the Company’s intranet. The notice will include an electronic link to the revised document for viewing or download.

2. Compliance Requirements

1 General

1. PDO and contractor staff are required at all times to comply with the arrangements made for implementing its HSE Management System. The content of this document, and the HSE Training Specifications detailed in SP 1157, form part of those implementation arrangements.

2. PDO contractors must comply with the same requirements, but through the specific provisions of Document C9 - HSE Specifications in their contract.

3. The annual Letter of Assurance that contracting company CEOs must provide to the company includes a declaration related to compliance with the HSE Training requirements associated with their contract.

4. Achieving compliance requires an understanding of the requirements, HSE training planning and records, and monitoring to provide evidence of compliance. This is best achieved by the preparation of an HSE Training and Reassessment matrix for all staff involved in the team, Function, Directorate or contract.

5. Appendices A – G inclusive contain course selection tables and the main points summary of all HSE course and assessment specifications in SP 1157.

6. The information provided will enable staff to quickly find essential and relevant details of a particular course and the page reference within SP 1157 HSE Training Specifications for obtaining further course information.

2 Compliance Reports – Responsibilities & Accountabilities

2.2.1 Asset and Functional Directors, contractor CEOs will be responsible, and accountable to PDO’s MD, for:

• nominating sufficient HSE Training Focal Points so that all individuals in their directorate, function or contract are being effectively monitored in respect of HSE Training compliance.

• Providing a summary HSE Training and Assessment compliance report for their Directorate or Function for the previous calendar year, by 31st January in each calendar year, held on file for use by any audit or verification team.

• any and all HSE Training related non-compliances occurring within their respective teams.

2. HSE Training Focal Points will be responsible, and accountable to their Asset or Functional Director, or CEO for ensuring:

• The HSE Training assessments and courses required by all staff they are responsible for are identified and recorded

• When the training must be attended to achieve compliance

• assessment and course nominations are made at the right time

• dates of attendance and performance outcomes are recorded

• scheduled reassessments are diaried and planned

• compliance of all staff against the requirements of SP 1157 HSE Training Specifications and PR 2010 Part I is effectively monitored.

• By the 15th of the month following each calendar quarter, a report for the previous calendar quarter on the compliance status of each staff member they are responsible for is provided to the Asset or Functional Director, or in the case of contractors to their CEO and Contract Holder.

• By 15th January in each calendar year, an annual report on the compliance status of each staff member they are responsible for is provided to the HLD8 team and, if a contracting company, via their Contract Holder.

3. HSE Advisers will be responsible for, and accountable to their Asset or Functional Director, or CEO for:

• Monitoring that the recommended Core HSE workplace assessments for new hires are planned and carried out by workplace supervisors and Line Managers within the specified time period whenever practicable.

• Quality assuring the recommended Core HSE assessments that have been conducted within their directorate, function or contracting company, as an internal verifier (see also GU 673: Core HSE Assessment System)

• Providing a quarterly report to their Director, Functional Head or in the case of contractors to their CEO and Contract Holder, on the compliance status of the last quarter’s new hires in relation to the recommended Core HSE workplace assessments, together with the performance assessment outcomes.

• By 15th January in each calendar year, providing an annual report to PDO’s HLD8 team, via their Director, Functional Head, CEO, and in the case of contractors their Contract Holder, on the recommended Core HSE workplace assessments compliance status of the last year’s new hires, together with the performance assessment outcomes.

4. PDO’s Approved Training providers (ATPs) have reporting requirements associated with HSE Training and Assessments that are detailed in PR 2010 Part II: HSE Training Provision Approvals and Quality Assurance.

5. PDO’s HSE Training Quality Assurance Team (HLD8) will be responsible, and accountable to the Head of Learning & Development and Head of Corporate MSE, for:

• Monitoring Corporate HSE Training compliance via reports received.

• Externally Verifying the compliance of Core HSE assessments within Directorates, Functions and contracting companies on a scheduled basis.

• Providing a summary report of the preceeding year’s PDO and contractor HSE Training and Assessment compliance to the PDO Managing Director’s Committee, by 31st March in each calendar year.

Nine (9) Steps to Achieving HSE Training Compliance

3.1 STEP 1: Identifying HSE training and reassessments applicable to specific individuals

2. PDO staff will have the HSE courses applicable to them included in their HSE Learning Ladders, that are linked to their Job Competence profile and Personal Development Plan (PDP). Contractors will know which HSE courses are applicable to their contract, as these are specified in Document C9 of the contract.

3. In each case, by referring to the descriptions in the column marked ‘Target Population’ for each HSE course in Appendices A – G inclusive, individuals and/or HSE Training Focal Points can identify which HSE course(s) are applicable, and to whom.

2 STEP 2: Assessment first or Training first?

3.2.1 Many people will have attended HSE courses of various kinds in the past. Some of these courses may be equivalent to current PDO HSE courses in terms of the syllabus content, and performance requirements after training.

4. Every opportunity should be taken to consider booking Performance Reassessments to minimise unnecessary HSE course attendance simply to achieve compliance requirements. Assessments can confirm that any claimed equivalent prior HSE training (see defined term in Appendix J) attended by a delegate has enabled them to achieve PDO’s required minimum performance (and therefore the compliance requirement), or not.

With the single exception of the AHA First Aid, CPR and AED recertification (AHAR), reassessments are considerably shorter in time than the course, cost less, some may be PC based and available at the delegate’s desktop, and in any event contribute to reducing training time.

5. All HSE initial courses and performance reassessments (Level 1 and 2 courses) are listed in SP 1157 HSE Training Specifications. The performance reassessments have the same code as the initial course, followed by an ‘R’, e.g. SCBA course becomes SCBAR reassessment; H2S course becomes H2SR reassessment; IFR course becomes IFRR reassessment etc. The only exceptions are the IND, INDP, DD and Safety Leadership courses.

6. The minimum performance requirements to achieve compliance are detailed for each course and reassessment in SP 1157. By looking at those applicable to themselves, delegates should be able to able to quickly self-assess whether they are likely to be meet the performance requirements of the reassessment before making any nomination.

7. In the case of the IND course, the post-training performance assessment criteria of the IND course can be used to establish if the prior HSE training was equivalent.

8. If a delegate is not confident their prior training would enable them to achieve the required minimum performance after looking at the specific assessment performance requirements in SP 1157, the initial course should be booked, rather than the reassessment event in order to gain the best opportunity to achieve the required performance standards and compliance.

9. At the specified reassessment intervals, continued compliance is achieved through the use of the same performance reassessment criteria. At the scheduled time, the performance reassessment criteria are used to confirm that the minimum performance aligned to a specific PDO initial HSE course, has been maintained over time.

3.3 STEP 3: When must HSE Training or Assessment be carried out?- Attendance Classifications

3.3.1 Each course, recertification or reassessment target population is given one of three attendance classifications – Compulsory, Mandatory or Recommended.

Compulsory means – the event must be attended before being deployed to carry out the designated role or responsibility, i.e. immediately.

Mandatory means – must be attended within a maximum of 2 months of being given the designated role or responsibility for a specific task related activity.

Recommended means – a highly desirable event for the target population that develops their professional HSE capability, and offers potential organisational benefit.

3.3.2 All three classifications contribute towards achieving the overall HSE Training compliance requirements.

3.3.3 Appendices A – G in this Procedure have a column labelled ‘Type’. In this column, the first letter of the attendance classification is given. From the definitions above, the delegate can establish when the course or assessment needs to be attended in order to fulfill compliance requirements.

3.4 STEP 4: Planning Training and/or Reassessment

3.4.1 PDO and Contractor HSE Training Focal Points should prepare an HSE Training matrix by which planning can be made, training status recorded and compliance against PDO’s requirements for each individual can be monitored.

3.4.2 The layout of such a matrix is a matter of personal choice but should be based on the Excel spreadsheet template issued by PDO in 2010 for HSE Training compliance monitoring. The HSE Training Focal Point should be able to demonstrate to an auditor or Contract Holder at any time, the precise compliance status of the individuals in the team or contract when requested.

3.5 STEP 5: All staff – What / Who are Approved HSE Training Providers?

PDO’s HSE Training courses and assessments must be conducted by a Trainer or Assessor approved by PDO to deliver or assess specific courses. These Approved Trainers and Assessors must work for a training organisation that has itself been Approved by PDO. These training organisations are known collectively as Approved Training Providers (ATPs).

3.5.1 PDO staff – Who is contracted to provide HSE training and Assessments?

• The ATPs contracted to exclusively provide HSE Training Services to PDO staff are listed in a table entitled ‘PDO HSE Training Service Providers’ linked to the following intranet web page: .

• PDO staff MUST book their HSE Training and reassessments exclusively with the appropriate Contracted Training Service Provider(s) found using the electronic links on the HSE Training web page. The Company will advise staff of any change in contracted HSE Training and Assessment Provision through its HSE Training web pages and the staff News List as they occur.

3.5.2 Contractor staff – Which ATPs can provide HSE Training courses and Assessments?

• Contractors may obtain their PDO HSE Training and Assessment Services, at their own cost, from any of the listed commercial ATPs that have been approved by PDO to deliver the specific courses they require. A current list of commercial ATPs who are Approved to conduct PDO HSE training and reassessments to contractor staff will be found linked to ‘See the Training Provider approval status’ on PDO’s HSE Training web pages for Training HSE Training for Contractors . On this web page are various electronic links which will provide the detailed Approvals information.

• PDO contracting companies themselves may, if they apply and meet the requirements in PR 2010 Part II: HSE Training Provision and Approvals Procedure, be approved by the Company to conduct some or all of the PDO courses and/or assessments in-house. Another link on the HSE Training web page will show the ‘Contractors Approved for Training’. Each is listed with the HSE courses and reassessments they are approved to deliver to their own staff only, in-house.

• The two lists assist employers to identify from which training organisations the PDO HSE Training and Assessment Services may be legitimately obtained. The lists also assist both employers and ATPs to verify the legitimacy of an employee’s HSE passport, and the course and assessment entries and stamps within it.

6 STEP 6: Course Nominations, Confirmations, Cancellations

3.6.1 PDO principles: Learning & Development event nomination and attendance

• All types of Learning and Development events for PDO staff must be included and agreed as part of every individual’s Learning and Development Plan for the year. Without this agreement in advance, no courses or assessments requested by a delegate should be authorised by a Supervisor or Line Manager, unless it meets the Company’s business needs and would adversely impact the Company’s operational capability if it were not attended. The same principles apply to the provision of HSE courses and assessments.

i.e. after an individual is hired by the Company and has completed their initial HSE training and assessment, all other HSE training and reassessments required can be identified (from the individual’s job competence profile (JCP), and from the scheduled reassessment intervals shown in Appendices A – G of this document.

3.6.2 PDO staff – Using Insight Browser

• Insight Browser (IB) is a globally based Training Management System that PDO uses for a variety of different functions, including H2S Training scheduling and bookings. Whilst the Company continues to use the IB system for H2S and/or other HSE courses, PDO staff must use this system to identify the course date and location most convenient to them, and then book directly using the system. Bookings made are confirmed automatically by the IB system by sending the delegate an Outlook Meeting invitation, that must be accepted. The IB system then automatically places the event in the delegate’s Outlook diary. This is the ONLY confirmation of booking the delegate will receive from the IB system.

• No reminders of pre-requisites for course attendance will be sent. As with all other Learning & Development events, the individual must take responsibility for their own training and ensure they have met all pre-requisites when they attend a course. These are listed in SP 1157 and in this document, in the right hand column of Appendices A – G inclusive.

• IB bookings may be cancelled by the delegate directly, right up to 48 hours before the published start time of the course or reassessment. After that time, neither the delegate, or Company IB course co-ordinators, are able to cancel the booking. A ‘No Show’ charge, equivalent to the full course fee, may be levied by the Contracted HSE Training Services Provider under these circumstances.

• Should the Company change or replace this system in the future, PDO staff will be advised via the HSE Training web pages and the Company electronic News List.

3.6.3 PDO staff - Conventional nominations

All other HSE Training course and assessment nominations must be made in the following way:

• Go to the web address of the appropriate contracted HSE Training Services Provider(s), using the electronic links on the HSE Training web page and consult the published schedule of HSE courses for PDO staff.

• Having selected the most convenient date and place for the specific course or assessment required, download the nomination form, available from the HSE Training Service Provider’s web site, again using the electronic links on the HSE Training web page.

• Complete the required details in full, and have your Line Manager sign off the nomination. (see 3.6.1 above).

• Obtain the signature of the person in your team that is Authorising payment (the Customer Authorisation).

• Scan and e-mail, or send by facsimile transmission to the accounts listed on the HSE Training web page for the HSE Training Services Provider that is contracted to deliver the particular course or assessment type you need.

3.6.4 Nominations for PDO new hires.

• Some time before a new hire’s first day with the Company, the Line Manager of a new hire will know their generic role (i.e. non-supervisory, Supervisor, Manager or Executive) and the date of their starting employment.

• Once the HR team have informed the new hire’s Line Manager of their starting date, the Line Manager should make arrangements to discuss any equivalent prior HSE training with the new employee on their first day. That discussion will establish if nominations for assessments or Core HSE Training courses, should be made. The nominations should be made without further delay, for the earliest dates that can be obtained on the published HSE Training Schedule.

3.6.5 PDO staff - Confirmations of nominations

• Within 24 hours, the appropriate Company contracted HSE Training Services Provider must contact the delegate and the nominator, by e-mail, fax and/or telephone/GSM sms. They will:

o Confirm the requested place or offer you an alternative date/location, if appropriate.

o Send you a reminder of the pre-requisites for attending the course or assessment you have booked.

3.6.6 PDO staff - Cancellations or Amendments

Cancellations by / from PDO or its staff

o To avoid financial penalty to the Company, a clear 48 hours notice must be given to the appropriate HSE Training Service Provider prior to the start time of the course or reassessment place booked, by the delegate or his nominator.

o Cancellations should preferably be made using e-mail or fax, but may be accepted by telephone initially, supported by a confirmatory e-mail or fax as soon as possible afterwards. It is important that whoever makes the cancellation makes a record of the date and time the initial cancellation was made, irrespective of the method used. This information and the method used should be sent by e-mail to HLD82.

Cancellations or Amendments by / from HSE Training Services Provider

o Cancellations or amendments to confirmations made by any one of the Company’s contracted HSE Training Services Providers, shall be notified to both the delegate and his nominator.

o Such cancellations or amendments shall be achieved by the most effective means of communication available – i.e. Land-line telephone, GSM telephone or SMS, e-mail, fax or letter. The Contractor shall make whatever arrangements are necessary to ensure a reception receipt is obtained from the intended recipient(s) that clearly indicates the date and time the message was heard/read.

3.6.7 Contractor Staff - Nominations

• Contractor staff should preferably use the same procedure for making nominations as is indicated in 3.6.3 above. Each ATP will have its own particular method of enabling clients to nominate delegates for training or assessment, but the same principles will apply.

3.6.8 Contractor Staff - Confirmations

• All PDO’s ATPs are required to have a system in place that is very similar to that used and detailed in 3.6.5 above for PDO staff. Contractor clients should ensure they understand the system by which their ATP is to confirm nominations, and the additional information they will supply at the same time, e.g. Course or Assessment Joining Instructions.

3.6.9 Contractor Staff – Cancellations or Amendments

• Contractor staff should make sure that they fully understand their ATP’s arrangements for amending nominations or cancellations, whether from the client, or by the ATP, and what the fee structure or financial penalty may be for such changes.

3.7 STEP 7: Attendance and HSE Performance Records

3.7.1 ATP records

• ATP’s are required to maintain and report records of attendance and assessments to the HLD8 HSE Training and Competence Quality Assurance team on a monthly basis, in accordance with the requirements of PR 2010 Part II.

• These records are correlated against the compliance reports submitted to Contract Holders in the case of contractors, and the HLD8 team in the case of PDO functions and Directorates, to verify the claimed compliance.

3.7.2 PDO Records

• Directorate and Function HSE Training Focal Points and HSE advisers shall maintain whatever records of staff HSE Training course and assessments are necessary to provide an accurate HSE Training compliance status for every staff member they are responsible for monitoring and reporting on, as set out in section 2.2.

• Any and all non-compliances with this Procedure or SP 1157 HSE Training Specifications shall be notified, investigated, reported and addressed in the manner set out in CP-122 HSE Management System.

• PDO will maintain an HSE Training database of all PDO staff HSE training and assessment attendances, No Shows and Assessment outcomes. This database will be maintained and monitored by the HLD8 HSE Training and Competence Quality Assurance team.

3.7.3 Contractor Records

• HSE Training Focal Points and HSE advisers within contracting companies shall maintain whatever records of staff HSE Training course and assessments are necessary to provide an accurate HSE Training compliance status for every staff member associated with the PDO contract they are responsible for monitoring and reporting on, as set out in section 2.2.

• Any and all non-compliances with this Procedure or of SP 1157 HSE Training Specifications shall be notified to the Contract Holder.

3.7.4 Individual records - HSE Passports

• When a delegate successfully completes the final assessment of their Core HSE Learning Ladder courses, the delegate will be issued with their Approved HSE passport, together with any related and required permits or certificates, by the ATP.

• Thereafter, every HSE Training or Assessment event attended should be recorded and stamped by the ATP conducting the HSE course or assessment event. ATPs will use different coloured stamps to indicate whether the performance requirements of an assessment were fully met by the delegate, or not. A red stamp against a course or assessment indicates the delegate must be reassessed or retrain to achieve the required performance.

• The HSE passport is a valuable personal record to the individual delegate. It should be kept in a safe place at all times, and should be capable of being produced to anyone requesting it within 24 hours.

• PDO staff who mislay, lose or physically damage their HSE passport may obtain a duplicate from the Company’s main HSE Training Services Contractor. A report of the replacement will be made to the Company and a replacement fee of OMR 10 will be deducted from the individual’s next salary payment.

• PDO staff HSE passports that require replacement due to their being full in any one section, will be replaced free of any charge. The original will be physically attached to its replacement, and both returned to their ‘owner’.

• Contractor staff who mislay, lose or physically damage their HSE passport may obtain a duplicate from the same ATP that initially issued it, at their own cost. Fees charged by ATPs for doing so may vary.

8 STEP 8: Workplace based reassessments of Core HSE performance requirements

1. Workplace Supervisors or Line Managers, whether PDO or contractors, are required to reassess staff against the Core HSE course performance assessment criteria, 3 months after the date they were hired.

2. All of the required performance criteria are detailed in SP 1157 HSE Training Specifications for each of the Core HSE courses. For convenience, all of the performance criteria from HSE courses forming the Core HSE Learning Ladder for non-supervisory staff are listed in Appendix K – Non-Supervisory staff Core HSE Performance Criteria for workplace assessment. All those for supervisory and managerial staff are listed in Appendix L - Supervisory and Managerial staff Core HSE Performance Criteria for workplace assessment.

3. Workplace Assessors: Guidance on what is required of the workplace assessor and how to carry out the recommended workplace assessments, detailed in GU 673 Core HSE Assessment System.

4. A suggested assessment template is provided in GU 673, along with a specimen completed form, for the guidance of workplace assessors.

5. Assessment Internal Verification (IV) : Guidance in the same document is also provided to Internal Verifiers, (nominated HSE Advisers – see section 2.2.) who serve as the Asset or Functional Directorate or contracting company’s assessment quality assurer for workplace Core HSE Assessments.

6. Assessment External Verification (EV): The recommended workplace assessments and related matters may, on request, be externally verified by the HLD8 HSE Training and Assessment Quality Assurance team against the Core HSE Assessment System in GU 673.

7. Where necessary, the EVs will coach IVs and assessors on how they might improve either their arrangements for Core HSE Performance Assessments or the assessments and records themselves.

9 STEP 9: Performance Reassessments and Recertifications

3.9.1 Once an individual has achieved the performance requirements for an HSE Training course or assessment, the date of completion can be entered into the HSE Training planning and compliance monitoring matrix used by the HSE Training Focal Point and/or HSE Adviser.

8. Using the matrix that has been prepared, an HSE Training Focal Point can quickly identify when the next performance reassessment or recertification for any individual is due.

9. It is recommended that a nomination is made for attendance on a recertification or reassessment event no later than 1 month before the event is due, to ensure attendance and the minimum performance requirements are achieved before the due date.

10. Other than for Defensive Driving and First Aid certifications, the performance reassessments and recertification events include no refresher training. The assessments are conducted to confirm the minimum performance standards have been maintained in each case.

11. Delegates may wish to refer to the performance criteria in SP 1157 and / or the course materials previously issued to them on their initial HSE course to refresh any areas they may feel less confident about, prior to being assessed.

Appendix H - International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Bands and definitions.

All candidates must complete four Modules - Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking - to obtain a band score. All candidates take the same Listening and Speaking Modules. The Reading and Writing Modules differ depending on whether the candidate is taking the Academic or General Training Versions of the Test. The General Training version is appropriate for HSE Trainers, but the Academic version would also be accepted.

Band scale

IELTS is scored on a nine-band scale, with each band corresponding to a specified competence in English. Overall Band Scores are reported to the nearest half band.

The following rounding convention applies: if the average across the four skills ends in .25, it is rounded up to the next half band, and if it ends in .75, it is rounded up to the next whole band.

The nine bands are described as follows:

|9 |Expert User |Has full operational command of the language: appropriate, accurate and fluent with complete understanding. |

|8 |Very Good User |Has full operational command of the language with only occasional unsystematic inaccuracies and inappropriacies. Misunderstandings may occur in |

| | |unfamiliar situations. Handles complex detailed argumentation well. |

|7 |Good User |Has operational command of the language, though with occasional inaccuracies, inappropriateness and misunderstandings in some situations. Generally |

| | |handles complex language well and understands detailed reasoning. |

|6 |Competent User |Has generally effective command of the language despite some inaccuracies, inappropriacies and misunderstandings. Can use and understand fairly complex|

| | |language, particularly in familiar situations. |

|5 |Modest user |Has partial command of the language, coping with overall meaning in most situations, though is likely to make many mistakes. Should be able to handle |

| | |basic communication in own field. |

|4 |Limited User |Basic competence is limited to familiar situations. Has frequent problems in using complex language. |

|3 |Extremely Limited User |Conveys and understands only general meaning in very familiar situations. |

|2 |Intermittent User |No real communication is possible except for the most basic information using isolated words or short formulae in familiar situations and to meet |

| | |immediate needs. |

|1 |Non User |Essentially has no ability to use the language beyond possibly a few isolated words. |

|0 |Did not attempt the test |No assessable information provided at all. |

The first three modules - Listening, Reading and Writing (always in that order) - are completed in one day, and in fact are taken with no break in between. The Speaking Module may be taken, at the discretion of the test centre, in the period seven days before or after the other Modules.

The tests are designed to cover the full range of ability from non-user to expert user.
