The Crematorium Technicians Training Scheme (CTTS<\/strong>) is provided as part of the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management (ICCM<\/strong>) portfolio of\u00a0accredited\u00a0educational courses; it can be completed on its own to conform with the requirements of the Process Guidance Notes for Crematoria or as a prelude to the Provision Layout and Management of Crematoria Unit which is part of the ICCM<\/strong> diploma course. Edexcel has accredited the course to BTEC<\/strong> standard and validates its contents on an annual basis. The course, which is supplied via email, is worked through at the candidate\u2019s own pace. An on site or on-line video assessment forms part of the course.<\/p>\n CTTS<\/strong> is the only qualification mentioned in the\u00a0Secretary of State’s Process Guidance Note that has the credibility of performing to a nationally recognised\u00a0standard.<\/p>\n The course requires that you work through the course workbook under the supervision of an on-site mentor (usually a senior member of the Crematorium team who already holds the ICCM<\/strong> CTTS<\/strong> qualification). When the mentor is satisfied that competence in the operation of cremation equipment has been achieved, an application for an assessment is arranged. A qualified ICCM appointed assessor will visit the crematorium in person or virtually, and carry out an assessment of competence.<\/p>\n The course includes the cremation of babies and infants, and competence must be demonstrated in this sensitive part of the service. The care of bereaved parents is also considered.<\/p>\n NOTE TO MENTORS<\/strong>: after you have successfully mentored two candidates through the CTTS<\/strong>, you will be eligible to receive the Accredited Mentor’s certificate.<\/p>\n More information, including the fees, and an application form, can be found in the CTTS-Handbook-2025<\/a><\/p>\n In April 2017 the ICCM<\/strong> launched a baby and infant accreditation scheme designed to assist cremation authorities to comply with the Bonomy recommendations regarding observed cremations. The scheme verifies procedures at crematoria to ensure the maximisation of the recovery of ash, via an in-house accredited mentor. All mentors and technicians that pass the scheme are certificated.
