Certification
If registering for the TOSA® certification option, you must do so at the same time as course registration. The exam is made up of a 60-minute adaptive test with 35 exercises. The result indicates your skill level. Merely taking the course is not sufficient to achieve a maximum score. The exam is proctored by the instructor and is carried out online during the last half-hour of the course. If taking place in a remote classroom, the exam must be both scheduled and then taken online within 4 weeks following the start of your session.

Practical details
Discussions, experience-sharing, demonstrations, tutorials, and real cases to help you throughout the training.
Teaching methods
Active learning based on discussions, real-world cases, practice exercises if taking the TOSA® certification exam, and an evaluation of what was learned from the training.
