ATOL courses are structured into topic- and clause-specific modules, each designed to progressively build your knowledge.
No one likes a single high-stakes exam at the end, so we’ve designed our courses differently. Each module includes a targeted assessment to reinforce learning as you go—helping you develop and confirm the knowledge and skills needed for real-world application.
All ATOL assessments are competency-based and aligned with Exemplar Global TPECS performance and evidence criteria, ensuring they meet industry standards.
- Knowledge Checks – Short self-assessments at the end of each module to reinforce learning, highlight areas for review, and provide targeted feedback where needed.
- Formal Assessments – Designed to evaluate competency through real-world application, focusing on the skills and knowledge required for auditing and management systems.
- Trainer Support – Learning online doesn’t mean learning alone. Our trainers are available to provide guidance and feedback to help you succeed.
This structured approach ensures you gain both confidence and practical expertise as you work towards your qualification.
