1.7 – Your Online assessment will be completed by using an online program called “Zoom”. Once your assessment is confirmed you will be sent an email confirming and giving you the information you need. It is extremely important that you keep this email as it will give you an access code which you will need to complete your assessment. Without this information, you will not be able to take the assessment and this will be classed as a missed assessment and chargeable.

1.8 – Please note that when you are completing your online assessments you must make sure that you have a good Wi-Fi, 3g or 4g connection. If the signal keeps breaking, then your assessment will be cancelled, and you will have to reschedule your assessment. This will be classed as a failed assessment.

1.9 – You may be asked to download an app or software to give you full functionality, this depends on your computer setting. The Zoom program can be used on all forms of communication including Smartphone and tablet, however, we do not advise trying to complete your assessment on a smartphone or tablet. Please note that the assessment is best carried out via a computer and webcam.  The learner must prove that no textbooks, posters or notes are visible.

1.9a – If you are taking a VTCT or ITEC assessment we will log onto the relevant system remotely and give you access to the assessment via sharing our desktop, keyboard and mouse.

1.10 – The assessment is a closed book assessment, this means that no notes, textbooks etc can be present.

Meeting etiquette. 

• Please make sure you arrive at the meeting waiting room on time.
• Please make sure that your webcam is turned on and positioned correctly. Anyone who turns their webcam off will be asked to leave the meeting.
• Please be mindful of background noise. If you can, mute your microphone and only turn it on to ask a question or for conversation.
• Please ensure that you will have minimal distractions during the meeting. This includes family, pets, phones etc.
• Please make sure that email, text messages and mobile phone notifications are turned off on your phone and computer.
• Please remember that you are attending a training session, therefore the same etiquette applies as it would in the classroom. Don’t try to multi-task during this training session.
• Please feel free to interact as you would in the classroom and ask questions, but make sure the presenter is aware that you wish to ask one by indication on Zoom that you want to ask a question by using the wave icon or just raising your hand, so that as much as possible, only one person at a time is talking to allow for everyone to listen.
• Please also be aware that someone in the group may have hearing or learning difficulties so be supportive of this. If you didn’t hear or understand something which was said, please ask for the tutor to repeat or rephrase their statement. It is more difficult for us to judge comprehension through body language online, as it would be in person.
