To become a certified professional of the Rescue and Recovery Industry in the United Kingdom, it is now a requirement that all candidates attend training sessions in approved centres around the country with recognised and approved trainers. Candidates will demonstrate their abilities and skills by undergoing examination on the 3 core modules - VR1, VR2, VR3 - set out as the minimum standard candidates must meet before they can obtain certification and be able to work on Britain's road network. Registration must be completed by April 2007.
The Regulator will issue the relevant certificate and identity card to the candidates that have successfully completed the training and pass the examinations. The candidates' names will be recorded in the national register of approved operators along with all the modules and qualifications the candidates have obtained.
