Anyone age over 21 years looking to get a PCO licence, will have to take a topographical skills test as part of the new application process which will assess on the following :
ONE- Identify points/locations using indexes
TWO- Identify directions and points/locations using a map
THREE- Planning a route between two locations
FOUR- To demonstrate knowledge of compass points within directional based questions.
Sections one and four tests your ability to navigate The Master Atlas of Greater London.
Section three is where you will have to plan short, medium and long routes and is where the bulk of the points are and where most people slip up.
Section four is very straightforward and just requires some present intelligence and should know the points on a campus.
