Helping Students and Training Partners to achieve better performance
A very important and critical factor in the success of the training and skill development schemes is the readiness of the under-training candidates to face the final assessments.
Skill training involves 2 parts:
1. Theory, consisting of basics & concepts and
2. Practical, consisting of applications of theories.
Both parts are assessed separately, but performance of a candidate in practical aspects largely depends on one’s understanding of theories. Hence, building a solid foundation of theories and concepts is the critical step in the skill development process. One sure way of ensuring this is to have continual testing of learnt concepts.
