Exports General revalidation

What does the OCQ(V) - EXr (Exports General revalidation) involve?

Exports General revalidation content is now included within the revalidation course of any qualification for which the OCQ(V) - EX is a prerequisite. It is a requirement that OVs review the Exports General content at least once every four years, but it is no longer necessary to complete a separate EXr course unless the OCQ(V) - EX and its prerequisite course, OCQ(V) - ES, are the only qualifications held.

Exports General questions will be included in the examinations for exports revalidation courses, so OVs are advised to review the content regularly.

However, for revalidations which are due for OVs who do not hold or require additional export qualifications, the following information still applies.

To complete the revalidation process for Exports General, you will be required to:

1. Enrol on the revalidation course from your Personal Training Dashboard. This will cost £99 + VAT.
2. Complete the pre-course self-evaluation.
3. Complete the online training course on Moodle. This equates to three hours of CPD.
4. Complete the post-course self-evaluation.
5. Nominate an invigilator, who must then accept their role.
6. Pass the online examination. This will comprise of 15 multiple choice questions to be completed in 45 minutes.
7. Complete three certification exercises, but only if this is the only export qualification you hold. Contact us for further information if this applies to you.
8. Sign the final declarations.
