Regulation 3
A supervisor has a prescribed qualification for a particular type of supervisory work if—
an approved body has issued him with a certificate of competence showing that he has been assessed by an approved assessment centre as having achieved the relevant unit of competence as set out in Schedules 3 and 4 hereto and that certificate is registered in an approved register; or
he has obtained a qualification of another member state of the European Community which gives an equivalent guarantee of skill and competence to that given by the certificate of competence as required by sub-paragraph (a) above,
provided that, for a period of two months beginning with the day on which he is assessed as having achieved the requisite unit of competence, a supervisor shall be treated as having a prescribed qualification for that type of supervisory work, notwithstanding that an approved body has not issued him with a certificate of competence or that the certificate issued to him has not been registered as required by sub-paragraph (a) above.
A supervisor shall not require a prescribed qualification for supervising the replacement of poles, lamps, columns and signs, pole testing or similar works involving minimal breaking up of the road.
