The appellant failed to demonstrate competence to the required standard for Level 1 registration. The competence assessment was properly marked, contained only Level 1 questions, and the process was fair. The appellant's regulatory history and experience did not outweigh the failure to pass the assessment, and there was no evidence of conflict of interest or procedural unfairness sufficient to overturn the decision.
