On 14 April 2017 learners should have been provided with a task booklet for a two week period to complete activities based on selected scenarios.
During this time, learners are entitled develop up to 4 sides of hand written notes (unless the learner has an RA1) Notes should not be submitted with answer booklet but kept at centre until end of EAR1 closure.
