How is the course administered?
The course is available only at PS-Academy.org.
A student must enroll, pay the course tuition, and log in
each time he or she continues with the course. The student
is not allowed to download or print any section of the course,
or any test or exam. The student has 14-days within which
to take the entire course and pass the final exam. Each
module is given in the order shown above, and the student
can proceed at his or her own pace. An average person could
take the entire course during a single uninterrupted session
of 6-hours.
How will I be tested?
Each of the five modules ends with a
short test that consists of five questions (multiple choice,
and true & false). The student must correctly answer
4 of the 5 questions before being able to move on to the
next module. If the student does not answer 4 questions
correctly, he or she will be given an opportunity to go
back and review the contents of that section, and take the
test again. You will be given a total of two chances to
obtain a PASS score for each module. The student must pass
4 modules out of 6 before being permitted to take the Final
Exam. If the student does not pass 4 modules, a FAIL score
is given, and no certificate of completion is bestowed.
When the student has completed taking tests in all six modules,
and has received a PASS in 4 of them, then a Final Exam
is administered. The Final Exam consists of 50 questions
(multiple choice, and true & false). If a student
receives PASS in all 5 tests, he or she must achieve a minimum
score of 70% on the Final Exam to PASS the course.
If a student receives a PASS in only 4 sections, he or she
must achieve a minimum score of 75% on the Final Exam to
PASS the course. If the student receives a PASS in
only 3 sections, he or she must achieve a score of 80% on
the Final Exam to PASS the course. If the student
FAILs the Final Exam, he or she will be given an opportunity
to go back and review the entire course, after which you
may take the Final Exam again. You will have two chances
to review the entire course and take the Final Exam in order
to achieve a PASSing score. All of this must be done within
the 14-day time limit.
Do I need to take the whole course
at one time?
No. A student can take the course at
his or her own pace, logging on or off at any time. As long
as you complete the course, and PASS the Final Exam within
14-days after signing up, you're on your own.
What is the time limit to take
the course?
You'll have 14-days to take the course,
after which time the course time limit will expire. All
modules of the course must be taken, all tests must be taken,
and the final exam must be passed within that 14-day period
of time. If the student does not finish all the requirements
within that time limit, the course will "end",
and no score will be given. That information is included
in the student's permanent record at PS-Academy, but not
available for review by any other authority. Once you take
the course and successfully PASS it, that will be noted
in the permanent record, and a certificate of completion
will be issued.
Is a "student record"
kept by PS-Academy?
Information pertaining to the status
of each course a student signs up for will be included in
the student's permanent record at PS-Academy, although it
will not be available for review by any other authority.
It is for your records only, as well as to help us audit
our internal procedures. Once you take the course and successfully
PASS it, that information will be noted in your permanent
record, and a certificate of completion will be issued.
Prior attempts to obtain a PASS in any course are NOT considered
part of the scoring process.
