Your learning journey

1. Design tests that distinguish explanations — Plan a test whose result could change your conclusion, and document its limitations.
2. Analyse the barrier at the time of the event — Compare required function with observed performance and trace the mechanism to evidence.
3. Select solutions and build an effectiveness plan — Compare options against supported pathways and prepare the decision record for independent review.

Practice and assessment

Use a notebook or an authorised fictional training workspace. Do not upload real witness statements or company evidence to a demonstration. Each lesson includes a task and an expandable worked answer. The final assessment has ten questions worth one point each. Seven correct answers achieve the 70% pass mark.
