Assessment
The only valid measures of successful training are learning
and performance outcomes. Quality assessment resources
provide critical tools for measuring a student's skill
level. 
Pre-Training:
What
level course should a student take? Does a student need to
take this course? The Fourth R offers
questionnaires and assessment software that determines the
appropriate course level for a student.
Concurrent
with Training:
How well is the student performing? What adjustments need to
be made to achieve the desired outcomes? Each section of
courseware includes exercises to
continuously assess and reinforce learning objectives.
Post-Training:
What
is the student capable of now? Were learning and performance
outcomes achieved? Each course concludes with a final
project that is meant to review and assess skills of each
student. The Fourth R offers assessment software that
simulates formal certification exams (IC3, MOS). Many
schools use the software as a final assessment. The
software may also be used to prepare students for formal
certification exams.

student's skills. The Fourth R proctors thousands of
