Successful completion of the 1-day skills test is a mandatory element of the CISRS scheme. This is regardless of whether the trainee has previously achieved his VQ via another route e.g. OSAT. A CISRS card will not be issued to those who fail to successfully complete the 1-day skills test. If a candidate fails the skills test, they must re-sit at a later date after gaining sufficient experience.
