Hawk Board/Lantra Awards F.A.Qs.

1.  All candidates pay £15.00 +VAT (£17.63) for the Lantra Award

2.  All assessors apply to Lantra Awards with their application/resume. They must then attend a Lantra Awards Falconry Assessor course £75.00 + VAT (£88.13)

3.  When assessors have attended the course they will receive a certificate stating that they are Probationary Assessors until their 1st candidate. Then their External Verifier will attend and evaluate their competence as an assessor. If he believes that he is competent the External Verifier will then invoice the probationary assessors Approved Administration Point £250.00 + VAT (£294.00) for this visit. The Approved Assessor will then receive a certificate from Lantra Awards. External Verifiers  will visit Assessors at least once every two years, however if there are concerns raised, further visits may be required.

4.  The Probationary Assessor must link to/apply to become an Approved Administration Point and show that they are capable of and have facilities to deal with the clerical aspects of the award. For example registering the candidate with Lantra Awards, distributing certificates, answering queries, keeping records and dealing with all administration aspects. The fee for AAP status is £25.00 + VAT (£29.40) annually.

5.  It is preferable that a probationary Assessor should have assessed his first candidate and therefore been evaluated by his External Verifier within

6 months of his Lantra Course date. If however this has not been possible it may be necessary to arrange more than 1 external verifier visit with the first 2 years.
