CAS Ltd considers that it is providing the only truly bespoke and fit for purpose independent competency test currently available to the fingerprint profession.
It is the only test in the profession with a robust process of invigilation under controlled conditions that can be conducted in house at the premises of the customer.
What We Do
The Test and Testing Procedure
- Testing only of bona fide fingerprint practitioners who must firstly demonstrate that they have received relevant training.
- All tests are conducted in anonymity.
- CAS Ltd recommends that practitioners should be competency tested every 24 months.
- Testing will be accredited by London South Bank University
How We Do It
CAS Ltd has developed its own database of finger marks and fingerprints from consenting donors, ensuring that every mark in their database is from a known person. The data provided in the test is drawn from the database and the competency testing reflects the type of material that would normally be expected to be received into an average fingerprints bureau during a routine day.
The test requires the applicant to:
- Undertake a 3 hour timed test
- Be allocated a unique reference number for each candidate
- Be supervised by an independent Invigilator
- Be Independently assessed
- Have the right of one appeal only
