Written Question Task Instructions
How to get started – For each question, you must record your written response in the
space provided. Before you start answering questions, make sure you have your
Learner Manual open; it contains the information needed to answer most of the
questions below. If you cannot locate your Learner Manual then contact us so we can
help you – this course will be very difficult to complete without the Learner Manual.
When looking at the questions try to identify a keyword or phrase in the
question. With this key phrase in mind, go to the Learner Manual and see if you can
find the relevant section. If you are using a digital copy of the Learner Manual, it can
help to use the search function to find these key phrases in the materials.
You can use the search function in the Learner Manual by pressing the “ctrl” and
“f” keys at the same time (or the “command” and “f” keys if you are using an Apple
computer). This will open a small box where you can enter your key phrase, then press
enter to start the search. You may get multiple results, so you will need to review each
one to decide which part of the Learner Manual contains the best information to answer
the question.
We will sometimes ask you to get information from a source other than the
Learner Manual, but we will let you know in the question whether you should refer to a
certain document or conduct your own research online. Be cautious when sourcing
online information – it can be outdated or inaccurate. If you are unsure of the
requirements of a question, contact a trainer using the online Discussion Boards, by
sending us an email, or by giving us a call:
