The Quiz
This consists of a multiple-choice test of 20 questions, which is undertaken at the end of the morning session. Participants must attain a mark of 75% in order to pass the quiz and earn MARA CPD points for the morning session. In the unlikely event that a participant fails to attain the pass-mark, at MPE's discretion, those participants will be given another chance to pass the quiz by going over those aspects of the material they initially failed to grasp.
How will the program be conducted?
MPE’s CPD Express course programs are strictly limited to a maximum of 40 people to ensure that you obtain a hands-on, personalised and practical learning experience. The presenters will use a combination of lectures, interactive case studies, role-plays and brainstorming techniques to stimulate thought, discussion and an interchange of ideas with the aim of augmenting your knowledge and professional skills.
