What happens after I submit my application?

Once your application has been reviewed by the registration team (usually within 5 working days) they will contact you to take payment. You will then receive confirmation that your probationary registration has begun – this generally lasts up to around three months.

During this probationary registration, you will be contacted by your OFTEC regional inspector to arrange an initial evaluation of your business. We’ve compiled this information sheet to help you prepare for this evaluation. Upon successful completion of your evaluation, you will become a fully fledged OFTEC registered business/technician and your OFTEC ID badge and company registration certificate will be despatched to you.
