When you've been just quickly clicking through the learning part of a mandatory online training course, singing oasis songs and then you suddenly get to a test section

One of the security guards on trial for the Manchester Arena bombing apparently breezed through his anti-terror training in a matter of seconds, just clicking through it all.

The fact they know this means it was logged, and they didn't care - and it'll probably be the same for yours. Really what you should be doing is sitting at each one for a few mins while you read the news.

I'm sure it will be fine. In fact some might say that this approach is best, you've just got to roll with it sometimes.

D'you know what I mean?

I'm pretty sure that failing those tests counts as an instant dismissal. Sorry :(

First salaried pay day since I quit my last job in August 2019 to go back to uni and it feels amazing. Had forgotten the thrill of getting properly paid, rather than small irregular amounts for freelance work.

Also get paid £135 every two weeks for food, tax free. Hallelujah.

I do this with all online learning :lol: Did you snipping tool each question when it came up, or even better the solution(if it gives them)? That when you skip through the entire thing to the quiz again, you can look back at your snipped solutions.

Working with the military you have to do their mandortory learning too; on one particularly bollocks one, my colleagues and I saved a folder with every solution snipping tooled for future tests.

One of the NHS ones we used to have to do when I was at the NHS had the answers in the HTML source code.

I thought everyone skipped to the end on e-learning modules. The questions are usually like "The fire alarm goes off; do you a) go for a poo, b) start a fight with a colleague or c) safely leave the building by following the evacuation route?".

Well, after being made redundant during lockdow 2 Electric boogaloo, I was not holding too much hope of getting a job, but I've managed to secure a temp job until March, with the possibility of it going perm. Also it works out £5k a year more than I was on. Plus I get paid my enhanced redundancy this week.

Zilnad,

Why didn't you try to contact me yesterday. I've been needing to speak to you.

Next time please use foresight and call me when I expect you too.

Thanks,
