The training will take approximately 1 hour to complete.

Before you take the training please read our practical handbook.

Five Common Practical Assessment Criteria (CPAC) modules

There are five individual modules – one for each competency statement. We've designed these modules so you can work together with other teachers on them. Once you've watched the five modules, take the assessment – there are 15 multiple choice questions, and you’ll need to achieve an 80% pass rate. You must take this assessment on your own.

Watch the CPAC modules and take the assessment.

At the end, you can print out your own personalised certificate.
