The objective of RISC Insurance Competency Training courses is to certify that each particpant has achieved a level of competence that enables him or her to perform her role. For this purpose, a formative assessment is conducted during the course.
The goal of this formative assessment is to monitor the trainees' learning and provide ongoing feedback, thus helping them to improve their understanding and achievement the learning objectives as the course progresses.
Moreover, the trainer also receives immediate feedback at the end of each learning objective. This helps him/her recognize where students are struggling and reinforce the learning immediately.
Data for the formative assessment is collected through four points to monitor each trainee's progress.
Where the group is sponsored, the feedback on each trainee’s participation and achievement of the learning objectives is provided to the sponsor.
