6.4 Extension of Scope
6.4.1 If a training provider with an existing certification wishes to be approved for additional scope (new GWO modules, training settings or REcognition), this can be done in one of two ways:
a.
in an extraordinary audit, or
b. during the ordinary surveillance audit, where extra time is allocated
6.4.2 If a specific GWO module is to be taught in a different physical setting (fixed, mobile, or onsite) the witnessing of training is required only if the lesson plan and the learning materials in the new setting are not common with the original setting. However, the audit will verify that the physical equipment required by the GWO module is in place, and that risks which are specific for each of the settings have been assessed.
6.4.3 If a training provider that is already certified to deliver a specific GWO module wishes to deliver learning objectives pertaining to knowledge digitally, a separate audit or digital training certification is not required
6.4.4 If a training provider that is already certified to deliver a specific GWO module wishes to deliver learning objectives pertaining to skills and abilities digitally, then a full audit (including witnessing of training) and separate digital learning certification is required. The audit can be remote
6.4.5 Digital training certification can be used to deliver training digitally at any location upon verification that the training meets the criteria outlines in the GWO Requirements for Training Section 7
6.4.6 The Instructor Qualification Training Module and the Instructor Qualification Crossover Training Module must be audited together. The audit shall focus on validating the lesson plans for the modules and the qualification of the instructors. A guidance for the duration of this audit would be three hours 6.4.7 The REcognition audit must verify compliance with the requirements of the REcognition scheme. A guidance for the duration of this audit is three hours. Following a successful audit the training provider will be certified as a REcognition Provider 6.4.8 If an already certified training provider wants to extend the scope by adding a new training site, the site’s equipment and facilities must be audited and training (according to the man-day estimate) must be witnessed while using the equipment at the additional site.
