Assessment takes place in the form of tests. Each participant receives 20 test questions. Each question has three possible answers, one of which is correct. If the teacher chooses more than one answer option, the test question is considered incorrectly solved. 1 hour is allotted for the performance of test tasks. The following system is used to determine the results of the written test: 1 point is awarded for each correct answer. The test results are considered positive if the participant scored the threshold level of points (80%). Participants who, according to the results of the test, did not score the threshold level of points (80%) are considered to have failed the test and cannot receive a certificate of advanced training.
