• 6.4.14 New criteria for minimum number of course participants in any observed training: The minimum number of course participants in any part of the observed training (actual or mock) must comply with the following requirements: a. When the number of participants in any witnessed training is lower than the maximum ratio of instructor to course participant in the standard, the instructor must conduct the training in a manner that demonstrates scalability depending on the number of participants. This means that the exercises and timings must be capable of being adjusted to minimum and maximum instructor/participant ratio with reaching the learning objectives in accordance with the taxonomy. A plan for this must be documented and must be verified by the auditor. b. If the standard requires a minimum number of participants for any of theory or practical elements, this must be followed. In this case, if it is not possible to have regular registered course participants matching this minimum number, mock participants can be asked to join the course. • 6.9.6 (new): Prior to being uploaded to WINDA, the audit report must go through a technical review by the certification body. This audit report must include the name of the technical reviewer and the date the technical review was undertaken.
