assessment at the end of each module. Questions are answered in sets of five to allow for review

and editing if required. If a session times out or an issue occurs throughout, the assessment will

time out at the point of the previous five questions so that a participant does not lose their

previous answers. Results are given immediately on completion. On completion of all module

assessments, learners then write assignments set by ATHE to complete the course.

guide to a learner’s progress through the module.
