A certification-band course that puts the demolition competent person in charge of the calls the work depends on: structural sequencing, hazardous materials, utility isolation, and collapse control. Across 12 interactions and 6 competencies it validates a plan that holds up as the structure comes down.
For the demolition supervisor and competent person who owns the demolition. Where the awareness anchor explains why demolition is uniquely high-risk, the survey course plans it, and the methods course runs it, this closer is the oversight and the program that sit above all of them.
Give the demolition supervisor / competent person the oversight and the program that keep a demolition in control from above: what the competent-person role actually is (knowledge, authority, experience, and the will to correct or stop the work); owning and…

Certificate and renewal
Passing the final test issues a QR-verified certificate, valid for three years.
This certificate records completion of knowledge training for the demolition supervisor and competent-person role. It does not by itself designate the holder as a competent person for demolition work. That designation is made by the employer, which names the person who has the knowledge, the experience and the authority to identify hazards on the structure and to take corrective action, including stopping the work. The demolition plan, the engineer where structural stability is affected, and the employer's own procedures always govern.
