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.
