Multiple choice questions are used in our virtual on-line and classroom training programmes. These can be used effectively for delegate assessment on a pre-course basis to identify knowledge gaps, on completion of a training module, at the end of the programme, or across all stages.

We also use content-based questions with multiple choice answers in classroom quizzes to introduce fun and a competitive element between teams in the context of a learning environment.

Their use is particularly important in virtual on-line training given the more limited behavioural signals available to the trainer. By way of example, the ‘polling’ of carefully selected questions with multiple choice answers is regularly applied in virtual classrooms to check the level of understanding of the delegates as we move through the content.

A sample of 10 questions are shown here. These have been taken from our extensive library of more than 250 multiple choice questions.
