Translator’s Notes:

*The candidate might use the word “understands" instead of “realises” as they have the same equivalent (“rozumiem”) in this particular context.

**The Polish version uses the word “uczestnicy” which can be directly translated as “participants”. I’ve used this word instead of “uczeń” or “praktykant” because it seemed morę appropriate to the context and equally generic as the word “trainee” in English.

***The Polish version uses the expression “in buildings of local authorities” so candidates may also use this descriptive equivalent instead.

****The Polish version of the phrase “national qualifications” uses the phrase “egzaminy państwowe” which translates directly as “national exams”.
