Trainees Expectations ?
Pre Assessment
The purpose of the Pre Assessment is to help determine your current
understanding and working knowledge
The Pre Assessment will help to uncover your areas of weakness so that
appropriate training can be prescribed.
Do not take an undue amount of time trying to "figure out" the correct
answer.
Typically, you will either know the answer, or you won't.
If you do not know the answer, your natural instinct will be to "guess."
This will not help. Simply pass over the question and go on to the next
Finally, this test is not intended to either qualify or disqualify you.
It simply provides a starting point from which our training can be adjusted
