Objectives:
From this lesson you should learn:
How to prepare
for the FOA instructor exams
Procedures
for taking the FOA instructor exams
- Preparing
For The FOA CFOS/I or CPCT/I Instructor Certification Exam
The
CFOS/I and CPCT/I exams cover both technical and teaching topics
as covered in Lessons #1 or 1a and #2.
Note: The
technical material and specific teaching material is
very specific to the FOA certification programs.
Experience has shown that even highly qualified,
experienced instructors who do not use the FOA provided
study guides often do poorly on the exam because they
are not familiar with FOA recommendations and practices.
Instructors
who fail the exam may take the exam again after taking time to study the materials
covered on the exam.
- Taking
The Exam Online
- Instructor
certification testing is done online.
- First send
in an application to the FOA for the instructor exam.
The FOA will contact the instructor with directions to
take the test online.
The test is a
closed-book exam that must be taken with no references
or outside assistance.
Passing grade is 80% or above.
Read the
directions on the exam carefully. As you probably warn
your students, understanding the questions is necessary
to choose the correct answer.
The test will
be automatically graded and you will be informed of your
score. Complete test results will be sent to the FOA.
DO NOT take the
test more than once online! Each time you take the test, results will be sent to the
FOA.
If you do not
pass the exam the first time, you will be contacted by
the FOA with instructions for study and retesting.
Certification
