COURSE DETAILS

Once the course is completed, users will be required to take a final test (see Test).  On successful completion of the test, users can download and print a certificate.

The course is RoSPA approved

Duration

The course lasts approximately 45 minutes, although this can depend on the level of existing knowledge.

Test

Users are required to take a final test consisting of 10 default questions. The default pass mark is 70%

The course administrator within your organisation can:

• Change the pass mark
• Implement the random test question feature which selects 10 questions from a bank of 20.
• Can specify that more than 10 questions must be answered (up to the full bank of 20 questions)

Target Audience:

Any employees or contractors could usefully use this course as part of an induction process, or as refresher training. It is also useful for someone who needs to interpret a noise survey from a specialist in order to carry out a risk assessment of a workplace.  If hearing protection is needed, selection of hearing protection should take account of information from manufacturers as well as the content of this course. Where hearing protection is worn a face-to-face demonstration should be given by a competent person, and users should be given feedback to assess if they understand how to use it correctly.
