Six Chinese operators hold domestic certificates; client and consultant want locally recognised ones.

The local training centre runs monthly courses at USD 320 per person.

The programme is tight. Can they work first and certify later?

    Working first is risky: after an accident the insurer may refuse, so the certificate has to be obtained.

    Certify in batches: send two first to lead, the others train on site.

    Put the training cost into the project budget; USD 320 a head is cheaper than a stoppage.
