The competition's UK-wide semi-final, organised by SummitSkills, takes place in either April or May 2009. At the semi-finals, competitors will carry out practical tests based on real work scenarios, to test their skills. The highest scoring competitors from the semi-finals will go on to try to freeze out the competition at the UK final, scheduled to be held this summer.
