Module 2 - Three day seminar
The syllabus for module 2 will include major topics incorporating EMF theory, measurement parameters, EMF reduction techniques, legislation and standards, instrumentation and measurement. There is also a heavy practical element of the course to familiarise you with the techniques of measurement and the fundamental operation of instruments.

Module 3 - Risk assessment project
This can either be produced using results from measurements taken during module 2 or can be a project of your choice, which involves the production of a risk assessment report. This report is the basis of certification for the course and is marked by your tutor. On successful completion, a certificate of competence will be issued.
