Prepare for the test

The breadth of content is now wider than any previous versions that you may have experienced, and is not role specific. We strongly recommend candidates allow sufficient time to revise and familiarise themselves with, what maybe for some, new subject matter.

The revision material options include an app, a PC download and a revision book. Check the range of revision materials available to help you prepare for the HS&E test
