Update/Refresher Training Update/refresher training for employees should be prioritised based upon risk assessment. However, it is a requirement of the Passport Scheme that it takes place, for module C, as a minimum every 2 year. If an employee’s role changes or it is identified after initial training that they do not actually require this level of training then it is not necessary to update them in this particular module.
