Pre-Class Assessment: This assessment will be conducted before the classes begin on your own to gauge your current knowledge and understanding of the subject matter.

Post-Class Assessment: After the completion of the classes, you will need to take a final assessment to evaluate your learning and comprehension of the material covered during the course.

Both assessments are essential and must be completed to earn credit for the class, but are not required to start filling out your permit. Your active participation and dedication to these evaluations will ensure that you gain the necessary knowledge and skills.
