Another step

Today was the final training session and the formal written exam on the road to becoming a North West Ambulance Service Enhanced First Responder.
I think the format of the training hasn't really been great, but equally I'd struggle to see an alternative way to do it as we're all volunteers. But half of each session has been reviewing what we've already done as the gaps between trainings have been so long. Start to finish it will have been seven months.

I learnt from the practice exams we've done each month and actually said a few of the questions out loud to myself to work through the double negatives and false positives. On this at least I know there are better ways to engage learners. Questions designed to trick only ever reflect or examine learning poorly, in today's 'everything has to have a score' world multiple choice is a lowly denominator, but it's a measurable one, sigh. The days of talking to learners and finding out what they actually know are probably gone.

Still... 92%. Two I simply didn't know, and haven't subsequently found in my notes, I guess everyone snoozes at some point. One I got my left and rights wrong (anyone who knows me in the real world will laugh) and one I could only narrow down to 50/50 and guessed (wrong).

Finished in time to wander up into the top field and watch the sun glow the Howgills. Now just the practical assements to go...
