mandatory modules

(document included on Friday)
before attending

9. What you need – thinking
about assessments
• Access to a PC, laptop essential
• Stable internet connection
• Webcam/video capability, with sound
• Photo ID
• Good lighting
• Facing camera
• Clear desk – No notes, mobile access etc.
You will be recorded on camera/mic via Big Blue
Button and will be accessing the Moodle course to
complete the modules.

10. How do the assessments run?
• Assessments are taken as a group, a little bit like the
live sessions but with much less talking 
• We are able to block learner cameras from each
other and this is how the ID check and room sweep
is done, whilst maintaining confidentiality
• You will be required to do a sweep of the room,
using your camera to show us your surroundings
and desk space
This is to check that no-one is there with you, you
have no notes or devices that can give you an
unfair advantage during the assessment.

11. How do the assessments run?
• The assessments will be monitored by me and once
you complete the first one, type ‘Done’ in the chat
pane. Scores checked after everyone has completed
the first assessment. You are required to wait whilst
everyone has finished the assessment before moving
on.
• There will be a comfort break (2/3 minutes) after the
first assessment and you will be able to talk during that
time. You will be encouraged to turn your sound down
whilst you are taking the assessment to minimise
distraction.

12. How do the assessments run?
Mandatory – Everyone will take
• Understanding how to be successful – 20 Q’s – 65% to
pass
• Equality & Diversity – 30 Q’s – 67% to pass
• Health & Safety in the workplace – 30 Q’s – 67% to
pass
Optional – People have chosen to take these
• Customer Service – 30 Q’s – 67% to pass
• Mental Health & Well-being – 24 Q’s – 67% to pass
These are hidden until you are in the assessment
meeting

13. What do you gain from the
end assessments?

Employability Skills Level 1

• Equality & Diversity at work
• How to be successful
AIM Qualifications - Optional modules – Single units

14. Next Steps – After Assessments
At the end of each assessment, you will know
if you have achieved the module as your
score will appear and you will be able to see
feedback if there is any.
You will be sent details of training you have
completed on the programme – This will help
when mapping training with the NHS
mandatory training for all new staff.
The NHS may ask us about achievement.
