Interpret compliance certificate content requirements and identify what must be recorded for a Type B job
Outline consumer protection, warranty and dispute obligations that affect gasfitting work

A completed sample compliance certificate and job record for a hypothetical Type B installation, checked against the requirements list

Week 7

Work through regulatory scenario questions linking licensing breaches to Type B work situations and justify each answer
Revisit Domain 1 weak points identified in week 4 and re-test those specific areas
Explain how safety, environmental and public liability duties intersect with licensing obligations
