an assessment (during the course) examination, one hour (at the end of course)

The assessment is based on a document from which participants are asked questions to evaluate their understanding and comprehension of key concepts from the course. The purpose of the examination is to test, at one level, factual recall of critical concepts, and at a higher level, to allow participants the chance to apply knowledge assumed by the syllabus to completely unfamiliar situations e.g. a scenario. Less emphasis is placed on factual recall and greater placed on critical thinking and the application of concepts.

lease note: Course participants will find the course material more than adequate to cover the critical learning.
