ID Requirements

It is the responsibility of Rubicon Training to have systems in place to ensure that the person taking an assessment is indeed the person they are claiming to be.

Rubicon Training are therefore required to ensure that each learner’s identification is checked before they undertake the assessment.

Recommendations of acceptable ID are below:

• A valid passport (any nationality)

• A signed UK photocard driving licence

• A valid warrant card issued by HM forces or the police

• Another photographic ID card, e.g. employee ID card, student ID card, travel card etc.

If a learner is unable to produce any of the forms of photographic identification listed above, Rubicon Training may accept another form of identification containing a signature, for example, a credit card.

Identification by a third-party representative, such as a line manager, human resources manager or invigilator, may also be accepted.
