Assessment

  • A 30-minute, 20 question MCQ written examination. The learners must answer 12 correctly to pass the examination (60%). If a learner does not achieve the 12/20 pass rate in the first attempt, the instructor gives them feedback on the areas where they fell short on and advises them that they have one opportunity to repeat the examination at the next available date. We use an alternative exam paper for repeats.
  • There are two examination papers; Exam A and B. The use of the exam papers is alternated
