Tips for a successful training experience:
- Plan to watch all training videos in each course in one session; if logging off and returning, users may need to retake the assessment questions.
- Upon watching each video, use the recommended resources to practice each lesson in the THISIS training environment.
- Users will need to have a
"test case" (PDF) to practice the data entry.
- Review the summary of each video to ensure understanding of the main points.
- Take the assessment and print a completion certificate. Retain the copies as per local or regional program direction.
