If a participant's score is 75-79% on the pre-test, they will have to take individual exams for these classes throughout the course, scoring 80% or higher. There are no second attempts on the pre-test or unit exams. If scores are below 75% the participant will not be allowed to attend the course. If a unit exam score is below 80%, the participant will receive a certificate of attendance vs. completion and be asked to take a future 449 course.
• Examinations will be administered via online testing links and must be completed during the course. Any issue preventing the completion of any exam will be considered as not completing the course and the participant will receive a Certificate of Attendance.
