3. Online training login
The trainer will email the online invitations with the access data to the participants at least one week before the start.

5. Certificates
After the training, the trainer emails the participation certificate. The company that conducts the exam emails the test results directly to the participants.
6. Follow-up
4-6 weeks later, participants and trainers meet again online and report and discuss the implementation successes.
The exam process
The test is carried out by the VDA-QMC.
You will be registered for the exam even before the training. Late registrations during training are still possible in some cases.
During the training, you will be optimally prepared for the exam: comprehensible theory, illustrative practical examples, in-depth exercises and, last but not least, test exams.
The exam is conducted as an online exam; you need a stable Internet connection and a webcam with microphone to take part. Please ensure that you have the technical infrastructure for the exam well in advance of the examination date. We use two applications, Zoom and Socrative. You will receive an invitation from us to a Zoom session and the login details for Socrative during the exam meeting. The current examination languages are English, German and Japanese.
The exams are carried out as a dual choice. You will be shown short statements, which you should answer correctly with “true” or “false.” You pass the exam with at least 75% correct answers.
The examination consists of around 15 statements per training day, i.e. 60 statements during a 4-day seminar, for example. The duration of the test in minutes is calculated from 1 minute per statement/question plus a flat rate of 15 minutes (for example 75 minutes for a 4-day training session). If you are not a native speaker in at least one of the exam languages and have difficulty understanding the exam language, you will be given 1/3 more exam time upon request (for example, a further 25 minutes and therefore a total of 100 minutes instead of 75 minutes for a 4-day training session).
Participants may not copy or distribute the exam content in any way. This includes taking photos, screenshots, and other electronic or written copies of the exam questions.
The participants must take the exam alone. Chatting and electronic devices are not allowed, except for the computer/laptop required for the exam. Email, messaging, etc. are not allowed. Please refrain from speaking during the exam so as not to disturb other participants.
The tests are carried out as an open book. You may use all written (including digital) training materials and notes.
The company that conducts the exam emails the test results directly to the participants. This usually happens after 2-4 working days.
