Licensing Course Exam: Rather than one large exam at the end of class, the required examination takes the form of a series of quizzes administered twice daily. Students are pleased with the manageability of such a system where multiple choice questions evaluate students on the material just covered. If a quiz is failed, students are allowed a retake until they achieve a passing score. A 99% pass rate on the cumulative quizzes speaks to the efficiency of our instructors and fairness of the evaluation method.
