Questions & Answers

 

Who can benefit from the courses?

These courses will benefit any paint and coating professional, from contractor to salesperson, architect and specifier, property managers and owners, inspectors and consultants.

Where are they offered and how do you take the courses?

You can take the on-line courses at your own pace and on your own time (except for the proctored exam). Each level must be completed within a certain period of time (3 months). Extensions can be obtained where special circumstances apply. You must pass the exam for each particular level (75% score) before you can go onto the next . Exam Questions are "Multiple Choice" - Answers are either "a", "b", "c" or "d". We assume that you are comfortable with using the internet and can scroll through pages or use the back or forward buttons. You will need to spend at least 1 – 2 hours per lesson (section) to grasp the information provided and write the study questions.

How to improve your Learning Outcomes:

There are study questions at the end of each lesson (section) within the courses. These questions are "fill in the blank" format. The answers are also provided. Printing and answering these review tests and then reviewing your correct answers enables you to know what you have garnered from the modules.
