CPD

The presentation is divided into sections with a review quiz to help assess how much information you have retained. On completion of each quiz the answers can be reviewed together with the correct responses.

CPD certification (3 hours) is obtained by passing the CPD certification quiz after viewing the presentation. The certification quiz contains all the questions in the same order as given in the presentation but you have only one attempt at each. The pass mark is 70%; if you have completed and reviewed the presentation thoroughly you should score 100%!

If you score less than 70% make a note of the questions answered incorrectly then review the relevant parts of the presentation and repeat the quiz.

Once you have passed the quiz you may view all the questions together with the correct answers and feedback. If you would like to discuss topics raised in the course there is the discussion forum.
