Course Procedures
Course is delivered online through 11 units that are separated by topic. The units include readings from the course manual, quizzes, application assignments and video interviews with Instructor Dirk Rauglas where he shares his expertise and experience surrounding the key issues of each topic. To complete the course, you must take and pass the Certification Exam, which is administered by a proctor the Course Instructors have approved.
You may complete each module at your own pace, but the course must be completed in 60 days to take the Certification Exam. Approximate time to complete course is 80 hours.
Course Materials
You will be provided with an electronic copy of the MTM-1 manual.
Assessments
Most units include automatically scored quizzes ranging from 5–10 questions. The quizzes are not graded and will not affect your overall score in the course. The quizzes are meant to test your understanding of the unit material. After completing a quiz, you will see which questions were correct and incorrect and can take the quiz as many times as you need.
Most units also include assignments that will be submitted and scored by an instructor. These assignments are submitted online and feedback is given online as well. The assignments address key unit concepts and include opportunities for practical application such as MTM-1 analysis and workstation design.
There is an automatically scored mid-course review that will assess your progress in the course at that point in time. At the end of the course there is also an automatically scored practice examination that will help you to prepare for the final Certification Examination.
After completing the course units and achieving a passing score on the Practice Examination, you can have the MTM-1 Certification Proctored Exam sent to a proctor, who will proctor the certification exam for you. Upon passing the certification exam, you will receive a MTM-1 Certificate of Completion.
