What an Assessment is

The Assessment requires learners to apply the information they’ve learnt in a course to evaluate their own environment.

Currently, only two courses include assessments: Display Screen Equipment (DSE) and Health and Safety for Homeworkers 

For instance, DSE assessment requires learners to answer a series of questions to assess whether their workstation is set up optimally, based on the guidance provided in the course.

After completing the training course and test, you will be prompted to complete the course assessment.

• If you agree, the assessment will open immediately.
• You can choose to return to the assessment at a later time.
• Please note that the assessment is a mandatory part of the course.

How it works

Step 1. Start your assessment

To open a course assessment from Atlas Dashboard:

1. Click the Assessments tab on the menu bar at the top of the page to show your assessments.
2. Choose your assessment from the list and click Start new assessment.

After opening your assessment, the assessment status changes to In progress. However, if your training administrator created the assessment for you, instead of it automatically starting after a course, it will have a status of In progress.

Step 2. Assessment in progress

What are the question and how to answer them

In the Assessment you are asked questions related to your training. Responses are recorded and the system provides advice on how to address any issues based on your answers.

To complete the form, select Yes, No, or N/A for each question to indicate your response. 

How Assessment form is organised

Assessments are organised into topics. Outline lists the topics in the assessment, provides links to each topic, and shows the topic status. Topics that have all required responses and comments are ticked. Topics that contain unresolved issues without comments show an alert symbol and a counter.

What to do with issues

If your answer highlights an issue, the topic will display an alert symbol and an advice bar will show some information to help you resolve the issue:

• If the suggested information resolves the issue
  • Optional: Click the Add a comment button and tType your comments. 
  • Click Send and accept as resolved.
• If the suggested information doesn't resolve the issue
  1. Click Add a comment to open the comment box.
     
  2. Type your comment explaining why the issue is unresolved. 
  3. Click Send.

I answered all questions, what's next?

1. Make sure that there are no alert symbols in the Outline anymore: you either resolved them or left a comment why they are are unresolved.
2. Save your responses and exit: 
   1. Scroll up to the top of the page and click Exit.
   2. Click Exit assessment. 

Step 3. Assessment completed

In this phase there are no issues, the assessment is archived and cannot be changed.
