Regulation 4
A trained operative has a prescribed qualification for a particular type of 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 1 and 2 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 required by paragraph (a) hereof;
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 trained operative shall be treated as having a prescribed qualification for that type of 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 paragraph (a) above.
If the works do not involve breaking up the street or are works only of the type referred to in regulation 3(2), a trained operative has a prescribed qualification if he has achieved the unit of competence set out as Unit 2 in Schedule 1 hereto.
