The Unit Standard Legal Test is compulsory when applying for SAPS Competency for the first time!!
Step 2

Once you arrive at the training facility one of the accredited instructors will provide you with the necessary closed book assessment to be completed under supervision.
- If you’ve opted to complete the open & closed book assessments at the facility:
Once you arrive at the training facility, one of the accredited instructors will provide you with the required open book assessment to be completed. Once that has been completed you’ll be given the closed book assessment to be completed under supervision.
Step 3
Once both assessments are completed, you’ll continue to complete the practical evaluation.

Once you’ve passed both the assessment and the practical aspect, the certificate and SOR (statement of results) will be issued.

It would be recommended that you bring your own food and drink for the duration of the training.
