The BESA Competence Assessment Scheme is straightforward.
An office and on-site technical assessment will review all aspects of your business to satisfy the legal and regulatory requirements, and demonstrate that you follow industry good practice and guidance. The frequency of the office and on-site technical assessment depends on how long you have been a BESA member. New members are assessed on joining and at the end of their first year. Following that, assessment is done every 3 years to monitor and re-verify competence.
Typically the full assessment process takes 3 months to complete from start to finish
The office and onsite assessment typically takes no more than a day to complete
You will receive regular and timely email notifications throughout the process alerting you to when you need to take action, confirming the stage you are at in the process and when you should next receive an update.
