Part I (four
weeks)
The Course starts by
reviewing the maths and
physics necessary to understand the Course. The course moves on to apply these principles to the
techniques used in collision reconstruction. This is reinforced during three practical
days
when students put these techniques into practice.Throughout the Course emphasis is placed on understanding the methods used
rather than following rigid procedures.
To complete the scheme, students must submit practical examples of work they have carried out. Further
details are given during the course. Also see the
Senior CI support section for further
details on practical submissions.
To complete the
course,
candidates will
need a good
understanding of
mathematics (O
level or GCSE)
and a basic
understanding of
physics.
There are three
maths tests
during the first
week and a half
of the course.
Candidates must
achieve an
overall70%
in these tests
to continue on
the course.
If your maths is
weak we strongly
recommend you
either study the
maths pre-read
available to
download from
the
CI pre-reads
page or
attend a one
week
maths primer
course prior
to coming on the
Part I course.
Part II (two weeks)
The Course ends with two written examinations,
prepared and marked by City and Guilds. Success in these assessments
together with successful completion of the practical portfolio leads
to the award of a City and Guilds Certificate.
Outcomes
On completion, successful students will be able to
reconstruct road collisions and present their findings clearly in the form
of a written report.
Students will be able to explain how and why they came to
particular conclusions and defend those conclusions under examination.
-
Successful candidates gain a City and Guilds
certificate.
