First things first; I'm not Oftec, but I was looking at both Oftec and Hetas for the future possibilities and then thought I'd type this up... Mainly so in future, I will be able to find it for myself, but also to help others.
BACKGROUND
Oftec is the body that governs those working in the oil industry, while it isn't necessary to be register with Oftec, it does make it easier and cheaper to notify work.
CATEGORIES
The are three categories, for assessment to work with oil, as it is with Gas Safe.
Cat 1: Those already holding OFT Certification, and are up for re-assessment, of the particular cert'
Cat 2: Those who have a OFT Certification, but would like to add a new OFT Certification. Also, those would work within the industry such as gas safe engineers and those with relevant experience/qualifications (plumbers etc...).
Cat 3: Everyone not covered by cat 1 and 2, new to oil or plumbing. (OFT10-50)
ASSESSMENTS
