Assessments are carried out by fully qualified and approved City & Guilds NPTC Assessors.  If training is required, Nottinghamshire PTC/Nottinghamshire Assessment Centre works with a number of registered Training Providers within the county who will be happy to provide training to the level required for assessment.
