Final exam

Thirty questions drawn from every lesson. Pass mark 80%. Open book, retake any time, free.

The final exam is the last step of the Academy professional path. It checks that you can apply what the lessons teach, not just remember it.

How to prepare

The questions come from the lesson quizzes, so working through each module and its quiz is the best preparation. Since the exam is open book, keep the lessons, your worksheets and the tools nearby. Many questions ask you to work something out, such as a capacity, a lead time or a budget line, rather than recall a definition.

After the exam

Each attempt draws a fresh set of questions. If you do not pass, review the topics you missed and try again when you are ready. Once you pass, you can claim the free certificate. Progress and results are saved in your browser, so use the same browser and device you studied on.

The certificate records that you completed the course. It is not a licence or a government-recognised designation, but it is a fair way to show an employer or client that you have worked through the material.

Thirty questions drawn at random from every lesson quiz. Open book. Pass mark 80%. Retake as often as you like, free.
