Additional comments	Students are required to make appointments in plenty of time. The Continuous Monitor is calibrated every fortnight. It would be easier for the training provider to take students when calibration is due in order to give them a better appreciation of how the monitor works. Students are expected to have read up on the topic area and have a basic understanding of the area before attending on the visit.
