Assessment

Training participants will complete both pre- and post-training assessments. CSF’s goal is for participants to achieve a minimum score of 70%, with a target benchmark of 80% or higher. Pre-test scores will be revealed after the post-test to highlight each participant’s progress and identify remaining knowledge gaps. Participants who score below the target benchmark are encouraged to review training materials and retake the assessment to strengthen mastery of key reporting concepts.
