- No previous experience of the PNC is required to attend this course.
- This is an assessed course, meaning an 80% pass mark needs to be achieved to successfully complete the course.
- Learners who require PNC vehicle and property enquiry training as well as names enquiry training are recommended to attend the consolidated PNC vehicle, property and name enquiry course (five days) instead.
- If your organisation does not have full access to the names file and uses restricted transaction codes, the College can also deliver a tailored course specific to your needs.
Dates
At present, the College does not deliver PNC names enquiry courses as part of its scheduled ICT training, but can deliver them where a specific demand for this training exists.
This could either be delivered at the College’s Ryton site or at an organisation’s own site, provided the venue meets the PNC system’s technical requirements.
