Assessments start automatically once a learner completes their course and passes the test, or you can start one manually for a learner. This article covers both.
Starting an assessment automatically
By default, assessments start automatically after a learner completes the course and passes the test. See How do I turn automatic assessment start on or off?
Starting an assessment manually
Whether you can start an assessment manually depends on the learner's current status:
Not started — the assessment can be started.
Completed — a new assessment can be started (the results of the completed one can't be changed).
In progress — use the reset option instead. See How do I delete or reset an assessment?
To start an assessment for one or more learners:
Go to Assessments.
Find and select the learners for whom you want to start the assessment — see How do I filter assessments?
Click the arrow on the Actions button and select Start assessments.
This creates the learner's assessment and changes the status to In progress.
Note: You can also start an assessment for a single learner from the menu on the right of their details — click the arrow to show the menu, then select Start assessment.
