To register a worker must satisfy the criteria for registration. This includes holding the appropriate qualifications for the job they do and being able to evidence good character.
Applicants for registration who do not hold the required qualifications may, if they meet all the other eligibility criteria for registration eg evidence of ‘good character', be granted registration subject to the condition that they achieve the required qualifications within a specified period which will normally be three years when they apply for re-registration.
