    Review Recommendation Interpretation (INT)
    Review Response It is proposed to explicitly address this in the Exam Supervision
    Requirements document and to add a new section after section 1.4.

    "Provision of Test Equipment

    The Accredited Training Course provider will ensure that the test
    equipment provided will be setup so as to ensure that no cheating,
    recording, transmission, or copying of the examination can occur.

    If personal laptops are to be used then the Accredited Training Course
    provider must submit a written policy statement to the Certification
    Authority documenting how the requirement will be met.
    This documentation must be approved by the Certification Authority in
    advance of any such use."

    Review Resolution Interpretation (INT)
    Review Conclusion An interpretation is recommended as follows.

    The Specification Authority agrees with the recommendation from the
    Certification Authority for revised wording, with the following
    paragraph added:

    "In practice this means that an ATTC will need to be able
    to load a clean environment into a PC (typically by booting via
    a USB stick or cdrom), and for that environment to be removed
    at the end of a session."
