The course is suitable for candidates who have limited computer skills or need to complete their training in a supervised environment so that their work can be verified as their own—for example, as part of a Managed Learning Programme.

The principal Northern Ireland legislation is the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 (PUWER)—particularly Regulation 9, which requires people who use, supervise or manage work equipment to receive adequate health and safety training. Training must address correct methods of use, associated risks and necessary precautions.
