Assessment
Continual assessment takes place throughout this course, with the trainer ensuring that you understand the material and feel confident going back into the workplace as a temporary works supervisor. This includes four mandatory exercises (two for the refresher).
There is a final exam at the end of the day which consists of 22 questions and has a pass mark of 78%. The test is made up of 18 multiple choice questions, and 4 short written questions each worth 3 marks. The exam is open-book, so you can use your course workbook and notes to help you.
