Start assessment creates the learner’s assessment and changes the assessment status to In progress.

To start an assessment, the learner’s assessment status must be either Not started or Completed.

Note Completed assessments cannot be changed and are archived to create a permanent record of the assessment.

If you need to start an assessment and the learner’s assessment status is In progress use the reset option, see How to reset/delete an assessment.

To start an assessment for a learner:

Click the Assessments tab on the menu bar at the top of the page to show the Assessment management page.
