as the participant progresses in his learning activities per
 Learning Outcome. (e.g. basic knowledge/principles of Welding
Alloy Using SMAW)
 Computer based test – This is composed of multiple choice test
given online. The computer based test shall only be opened to a
particular participant scheduled for assessment during a
designated time. If the participant failed to take the test during
the designated time, he should notify the online mentor for
