Hey Gareth
Great news at last. Bet your well pleased.
The references are used to get your airport ID. Basically how long, well, how trustworthy you are etc... If your referees are slow at returning their reference on you, you could be asked to chase them up.
As a "once" safety and security instructor learn your stuff, if you don`t understand something ASK you will only get tested on it. You will find that the few weeks of training school are hard work and you HAVE to pass these tests. You get a second chance, at the test, if you don`t pass that time they say goodbye. Time keeping is watched big time. Your social life tends to suffer over the training course as you revise and learn.
Good Luck.
