Testing

Certification Course

Both written and hands-on skills assessments take place during the certification course. Instructors will award a pass/fail grade at the conclusion of each hands-on skills test. There are a series of three written quizzes. To pass the written part, technician candidates must get at least 42 (out of 50) questions correct overall. The passing score is 84 percent (42/50) correct.

The hands-on skills grade (pass/fail), check up event grade (pass/fail) and overall written grade are entered online at the end of the course by the lead instructor.
