How will I be assessed?

All trainees for Workplace Numeracy (WPN) are required to sit for a Pre-Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) assessment to evaluate their mathematic proficiency levels – beginner, Intermediate or Advance.

After the completion of the training, all trainees are required to sit for a Post-Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) assessment.

Will I recieve a certificate of completion?
