Read a public record
A reference leads to the information that gives a result its meaning.

Read identity and result type.
Check the code, holder, issuer and document type. A training record, professional assessment and accreditation describe different things.
Relate scope, status and validity.
Read the activities or competencies covered and their published conditions. Check that the document corresponds to the intended use.
Ask for clarification when needed.
Check that the reference is complete and contact the responsible entity. A record not found or a technical outage requires clarification; neither alone demonstrates a false document.
This material helps you interpret information and prepare an inquiry. Service and assessment conditions must be confirmed for the relevant programme.
