Cascale FEM Recognized Assessment List
Nominated assessment schemes are reviewed by Cascale to determine the equivalence across the 7 FEM sections (or advanced chemicals section). Equivalence is determined based on subject coverage (e.g. air emissions, water use), depth of assessment (e.g. checklist vs. in-depth technical assessment), and required skills. Final equivalence is determined by Cascale and assessments that are recognized as having FEM equivalence are added to the list and applicants can claim these as equivalent assessment experience on their application.
