Standard Assessments & Methods of Evaluation
Lesson Quizzes: After each online lesson, learners must pass an online quiz. These quizzes are automatically graded, and correct answers are provided. Quizzes can be retaken.
Module Exams: At the end of each module, learners must complete a review quiz. These exams are automatically graded, and correct answers are provided. Module exams cannot be retaken.
Final Exam: At the end of each training, learners must pass a final online quiz. The exam is automatically graded, and correct answers are provided. The final exam cannot be retaken.
Final Grade Calculation: The final grade is the simple average of the lesson quizzes, module exams, and the final exam. The passing score is defined for each training and corresponds to this final grade.
Integrity Policy
By enrolling in our trainings, learners undertake to comply with our Integrity Policy. Thereby, they commit to completing all assessments personally and independently, without assistance from third parties or artificial intelligence (AI) tools (such as ChatGPT). Any violation of this policy may result in disqualification from certification.
Limitations of Standard Certificates
Standard certificates confirm that the learner has formally met the assessment requirements. However, they do not include verification procedures ensuring that the learner passed exams individually and independently, in full compliance with our Integrity Policy, without external assistance and notably without using artificial intelligence tools.
2. Enhanced Certification
Learners who seek additional verification of their skills and knowledge may request an optional individual evaluation by the lecturer.
The evaluation is conducted orally via videoconference and lasts 15 to 20 minutes. Before the oral examination, learners must provide a copy of an official identity document and present the original at the start of the session.
Upon successful completion, they will receive a certificate confirming their personal evaluation by the lecturer.
This enhanced certification strengthens the credibility of the learner’s achievement and may be particularly valuable for employers or academic institutions.
Pricing is available upon request.
3. Authentication of Certification
Learners may request that we directly verify the authenticity of their certificate with a third party, such as an employer or academic institution.
This service confirms that the certificate is genuine and corresponds to a successfully completed training.
To initiate the request, learners must:
- Personally request the authentication service.
- Confirm their authorisation for us to communicate with the identified third party.
- Complete the payment for this service.
The third party should then contact us directly, and we will provide verification.
Pricing is available upon request.
