TRIDENT QUALIFICATION CHECKER

PLEASE NOTE – TWO CRITICAL THINGS!

  1. WE ARE MOVING HOME!

We are moving to larger office premises over the weekend of 19-21 March. Whilst we do not anticipate any actual business down time, please bear with us just in case of any unanticipated issues around this time.

You MUST use our new address for all post including exam paperwork (whether by Royal Mail or courier) to arrive on or after Monday 22 March. If you do not use the new address we cannot guarantee that we will receive your papers, and if we do receive them there will be a delay in processing them so we cannot guarantee to meet our usual turnaround times. Furthermore we cannot be held responsible for what may happen to papers, and personal data within them, which are not sent to the correct address – this will be your responsibility and any loss would have to be reported to the ICO as a personal data loss.

Our new address will be: Cobb House, 2-4 Oyster Lane, Byfleet, KT14 7DU.

Our telephone numbers will not be changing.

  1. NEW SIA LICENCE-LINKED QUALIFICATIONS – IMPORTANT DATES

The new security qualifications will launch on Thursday 1 April.

Any candidate registered on Quartz on an “old” (ie the current) qualification by 10am on Wednesday 31 March can take and be awarded the old qualification providing all exam and associated paperwork is received in our office on/by Tuesday 17 August.

In other words:

  • The individual candidate, not just the course run, needs to be uploaded to Quartz by 10am on Wednesday 31 March.
  • All exam and associated paperwork, including any resit exams, must be completed properly and fully, and received by us, on/by Tuesday 17 August.
  • The candidate needs to have passed every paper, including resits if needed, and all practicals, and if so, will be certificated by Tuesday 31 August.
  • Candidates cannot mix old units and new units at any time (before or after August) so will need to take the whole new qualification in full if they only partially achieve an old qualification by 31 August.

There is absolutely no flexibility whatsoever in any of the above dates as these are regulatory.
