How completion works
Pass the practice question in every lesson first, then submit four assessment sets in order. Each set has 10 distinct questions. Submit all four sets and score at least 60% overall (24 correct answers out of 40). Set scores combine; there is no minimum score per set. Your best submitted score per set is retained on retakes. It is open-book and must be your own work. This automated assessment checks course understanding; it does not independently verify identity or workplace competence.
Each set attempt has its own 15-minute window. Starting an attempt counts even if you abandon it. Wait 15 minutes from the start before a retake; after every third attempt of the same set wait 24 hours. Your best submitted set scores stay saved. A live attempt can be resumed. Retakes and learning remain free.
About this course
Facilitate a focused retrospective that turns evidence and differing perspectives into a small improvement experiment. This course is designed for team coordinators reviewing a completed period of shared work.
The five lessons move through frame a useful review question, gather observations before conclusions, find patterns without forcing agreement, choose one small experiment, review the action rather than just the meeting. Each explains two practical decisions and includes a worked example, a private activity and a comprehension check. Your project is to prepare a fictional retrospective and action review. Use the examples to practise explaining a choice, noticing a mistake and improving the result rather than just memorising definitions. All lessons and assessments are free; the optional Certificate of Completion price is shown before enrolment. The course does not award an NQF qualification or professional registration.

A practical example
The checklist was created, but the receiving team did not use it. The review records an implementation gap rather than declaring that the experiment disproved the idea. Try a second fictional version with one missing input or changed condition. Explain which check detects the issue, what you would change and what evidence would support the revised result. Keep personal information out of the exercise and compare your reasoning with the lesson before completing the practice question.
Try your own fictional version, then enrol to work through the lessons, practice and assessments. Use this unmarked example to explore the skill before working through the course activities.
