LEARN MORE
If you know what's expected and feel ready to attempt the Level 1 test - you can book our Exam Only Package here.
To increase your chance of success, we do have a 3-day Exam Preparation & Exam Event Package option that provides candidates with detailed insight into the standards required by the DSWA UK, useful hints on speed and efficiency and a full mock test with analysis.
Within this package, candidates also have the option to utilise the training centre for further practice the day before their exam and the use of our Riley Northern walling hammers.
Our Exam Only Package includes:
Initial – Level 1 Certificate
In the presence of the examiner/s, candidates are required to strip down and rebuild a straightforward free-standing 2.5 square metre section of wall within a single 7 hour period.
The required standard places emphasis on sound and solid construction rather than on a quality finish. Candidates must obtain the minimum mark in each section and an overall pass mark of at least 50 in order to gain certification.
