How Will I Be Assessed?
Assessment at Online Business Academy is a very straightforward process:
After you have completed an online module, you will have an online assessment to complete. This assessment contains 30 multiple-choice questions that you must complete in one hour. However, we segmented the questions in sets of five, so you will have enough time to review and edit your answers. The test will automatically time out after an hour.
A student will get results immediately after completing the test. If you didn’t pass, you will receive a notification of a “refer” where you will have to retake a module assessment. You can complete these modules at your own pace, as there is no deadline to complete the course.
When you complete online modules, you will be able to take the final written assignments that test your knowledge and understanding of the modules.
