Not really useful for full time teachers who don't work in an office environment, do not spend long periods of time in front of a computer screen, do not have a telephone, walk around the form room regularly, stand up to write on the white board etc.

it was an ok questionnaire more suitable for office staff than shop floor.setting up your seat was useful info.

It needs to be clearer what should someone do if they need adjustments and where to go. Also it was not possible to print or save a pdf version of my assessment.

Inconsistencies in the audio recording necessitated changing the volume levels several times during the session. When the volume jumps up after being quiet it can hurt your ears - not good from a H&S course!!!! The question in the test about software did not offer an acceptable answer. The one labelled as 'correct' talked about user-friendly software etc, but user-friendly is not necessarily what you need, you need software that performs the task for which it is designed effectively and satisfactorily. It doesn't have to be user-friendly. The course contained a lot of very basic information that may be suitable for someone who has never sat in front of a computer before, but for everyone else it was somewhat insulting. I hope that your refresher course that I have to sit in 12 months time does not include all of this or better still starts with the test and then directs you to relevant information appropriate to the accuracy of your answers.

I don't use a computer or work in an office at all not sure why I had to take this test

It was a good reminder of how we should react to our working environment. Although the exercises were very good I cannot see staff taking the time to do them during office hours.

I was always told that lights should be BEHIND a screen, not 'at a right angle to it' as your course suggests.
