After you complete the quiz, start on the next module. There is no need to wait! No hurry either. You are in control of the pace of learning. Remember, if you have questions as you study, just send me an email.
- Complete and submit the final course exam. Final exams are 25 questions. To meet OSHA requirements, you may have three attempts to pass the course final exam with at least a 70% score. Most final exam questions are derived from module quizzes. Study each quiz, and you will easily pass the exam.
