Immediately after viewing video lessons, learners participate in an online quiz to measure the extent of their initial understanding of the content presented.
Consolidated Workbook & Memo-Based Reconciliation
Learners use workbooks to measure their understanding of key concepts and to improve their fundamental comprehension of specific topics.
