Each learner will receive
A learner workbook including progress quizzes
Logbook and checklist example templates
A portfolio of evidence of practical and theoretical evaluations
We conduct a formative theoretical assessment at the beginning of the course to gauge the learner’s initial understanding (novices only). At the end of the training, a summative theoretical, as well as a practical application assessment is conducted, and the learner is found competent, and if not, additional developmental areas are identified and suggested.
