The orientation course has two parts, and you will need to view both parts before you can attempt the quiz.

After viewing both parts of the orientation, you can attempt the quiz. You have an unlimited number of attempts to achieve at least 60 percent and successfully complete the quiz before moving on.

Access the quiz by clicking on the ‘Evaluation’ folder.

The remaining course content folders contain resources that will be useful to you in establishing your mentoring relationship and in using the profession’s online Practical Experience Reporting Tool (PERT).
