Academic Integrity in the E-Learning Environment

The training provider is committed to promoting the principles of academic integrity among learners, particularly within the e-learning environment. This is achieved through a set of systems and policies that ensure certificates are awarded solely based on genuine effort and actual performance.

Learners are required to fulfill attendance requirements, actively participate in training sessions, complete assignments and assessments, and successfully pass final evaluations. Pre- and post-assessments may be used to measure learning progress, enhancing the credibility and fairness of the evaluation process.

In collaboration with trainers, all available tools within the learning platform are utilized to ensure academic integrity in distance learning. Certificates are issued only after all requirements have been fully met, with clear instructions and guidance provided to learners.
