Well done on completing your course. Remember to look at the student resources section, where you will find your free student manual and other downloads and links to different websites that may support your training. You have access to the course for eight months, so come back and refresh your skills and see any new videos that we add. The next stage is to complete your course test. Before we start the test, you can review any of the videos and you can read through the documents and links in the student resources section. There is no time limit to taking the test, but you have to complete it in one sitting. There is only one correct answer per question and it's a mixture of a choice of four answers or true or false questions. If you get the answer wrong, you'll be given some additional help, and then you select another answer. Making a different choice to get the right answer will not affect your final score, but it will ensure that you know the correct answer to all the questions before proceeding. We use an adaptive testing system, so no two people will get the same questions and you must pass each section of the course. The system will ask additional questions if you've not passed a section. If you're not successful in the test, you can review the videos and text and then retake it again. Once you have passed the test, you can print off your completion certificate or at any time from the home page of the course, where you can also print off your Certified CPD statement and the evidence-based learning statement. At ProTrainings, we offer over 300 courses that can be taken nationwide at regional training centres or at your workplace and many of these are available as remote virtual courses that you can take online live, with a real instructor. These are available through our network of over 1200 instructors, and we also offer over 250 video online and blended courses. If you need any help finding a course or to discuss group training solutions, please contact us on 01206 805359 or email support@protrainings.uk. Thank you for choosing ProTrainings and good luck with your test.
