Question about the management tool

Question Answer
Who do I need to contact if I can't log-in to the SAP Fiori Launchpad You may contact the E-SPOC
My employees have no e-mail addresses. I can't go further with my registration, because it is a mandatory field. What must I do?  A personal and unique mail address is a requirement  to take a test and afterwards to have access to the work place. Therefore we advice you to create  email addresses for your agents.

2) If validated, check in 'LMS' that all filters are correct.
3) If everything is OK above, then please contact the Elia e-SPOC

Where can I find my results? You'll see your results at the end of the test. Your V-SPOC can view the results in the LMS Step Up environment.

Question about the agent

Question Answer
I have changed employer, should I do something? You may contact the V-SPOC of your new company and ask him to contact the E-SPOC in order to make the change. Your new company will need to deliver you a new BA4-BA5.
If I'm a worker I'm always BA4? And if I am a work leader, I'm always BA5? BA4 and BA5 are capacity certification linked to the electrical danger and the risks' knowledge. You can be BA5 and worker, but it is not allowed to be BA4 if you are a work leader full or work leader full+line.
My agent has a safety certificate validity shorter than 2 years, how can I extend it? You may download the new BA4/BA5 into the management tool provided by Elia. This needs to be approved by the E-SPOC.
My worker becomes a Work leader, what must I do? Update the necessary field Job Title in the agent profile and upload the necessary BA4/5 if not already done. This will trigger an approval flow by the E-SPOC and after approval profile is updated. After approval you can subscribe your new workleader in a training session.

Question about the Safety certification

Question Answer
What happens when an agent comes from another company to mine and already has a certification? The Elia certification will remain valid if an agent moves from one company to the other. The certificate moves together with the agent. The BA4/5 certificates needs to be uploaded by the new company v-spoc and then needs to be approved by the E-SPOC.
Do I receive my certification / badge immediately after the test? Your certificate will be available in SAP Fiori  and LMS Step Up. You won't receive a physical certificate nor badge.
How many chance do I have to take the test in case I failed? Three chances. Afterwards, it won't be possible to subscribe for one year.
