2023 proved to be a hugely successful year, where ETA was honoured as the FAB EPAO of the year, alongside securing Investors in People Gold (Top 10 UK employer)
These are the units ETC Awards Limited registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with ETC Awards Limited. It does the teaching and the mapping. ETC Awards Limited sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
The Navigator · your what-if tutor Illustration The Navigator Your plan for “Contribute to the Commissioning and Optimisation of New or Modified Plant, Equipment and Processes Within Processing Industries Environments” assumes the same two people are free in March. What have you seen that makes you slightly uneasy about that?
You One of them has been pulled onto the migration twice already. Probably fine.
The Navigator That is the thread worth pulling. Let us build the version where it happens a third time and find the move that works either way.
- Bring your own plan Create
For “Contribute to the Commissioning and Optimisation of New or Modified Plant, Equipment and Processes Within Processing Industries Environments” you bring the plan you are actually working on, not a case study. Zavmo pulls on the assumptions in it until the weak one shows.
- Draft the real one Create
You do “Carry Out Emergency Procedures Within Processing Industries Environments” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.
- Map a live decision Analyse
“Develop and Monitor Plans and Procedures Within Processing Industries Environments” runs on a decision you are facing now. Zavmo maps it with you and shows what the second-order effect looks like before you find out the slow way.
- Lead it Apply
“How to Identify the Scope for Improvement in the Way the Organisation Manages Energy Within Processing Industries Environments” is practised on the team you actually have. You talk through the call you are about to make, and Zavmo makes you say it the way you would say it to them.
