your tutor if necessary to make sure that you understand what you have to do.
If you need to ask for help once you start the assessment it may affect
whether you pass or not. You should also read the assessment criteria to see
what your tutor is assessing and to remind you of the required standards.
You must complete all the tasks within 20 hours. A suggested time allowance

working practices throughout this assignment. You must use the relevant
safety equipment and work to current legislation and regulations. If you do not
do this, your tutor will stop the assessment immediately.
