Step two: Each candidate is required to participate in a series of three 2-hour online meetings with an OAC instructor. Meetings take place via commonly available video conferencing applications. If the participant does not have such an application, the meeting is conducted using the system provided by OAC.

Step three: E-learning training that must be completed after the online meetings with the OAC lecturer. This stage is mandatory for each candidate and is a form of theoretical self-study that does not take place in the traditional classroom format. 

Step four: In the final stage of the theoretical training the participant must complete a test verifying the knowledge acquired in the previous steps. Successfully passing the test allows enrollment in on-site training, which depending on the purchased service lasts from 5 hours to 16 hours (one to two days – the duration depends on the number of participants).

Step five: Completion of the on-site training authorizes the candidate, depending on the qualifications*/certificates/licenses they apply for, to take the exam*. Exams take place on the day the on-site course ends or the following day after the course.
