Test Your Knowledge Questions

At various points in a Course, you will be presented with a question to help cement your learning. You can attempt these questions as many times as needed, and while correct answers are required to progress, they won't be factored into your final Course Assessment.

Call-outs and Icons

Academy lessons use a variety of icons and callout boxes to visually highlight key concepts. As you progress through your courses, these symbols will become familiar navigational aids.

Callout Name and Example	Callout Description
Info:	Used to highlight specific aspects of a feature that were previously mentioned, or to clarify less obvious feature applications.
Funding / PCARP / NHS:	Calls out the direct benefits of Surgery Connect features and how they can help you meet the NHS Delivery Plan for Recovering Access to Primary Care requirements and ultimately, the associated funding.

True or False
Multiple Choice
Gap Fill
Drag and Drop Ordering

Our flexible Assessments are designed to help you practice at your own pace:

When an Assessment has been completed, you can expect an instant Assessment grade and feedback on your answers. Assessments can be re-taken as many times as you need without any penalty on your score.

To earn your certificate you will need to receive a minimum grade, this will be highlighted when your score is presented.
