POST-ASSESSMENT INFORMATION FOR EACH LEVEL:

After viewing each belt color video, you will be directed to take a post-assessment.  These are Pre-tests for the final assessment to see what information you retained and what you may need to review.  John believes that a 90% or better proves that you are ready to move on to the next level.  Once you have received a 90% or better on all 6 belt color levels, you are ready for the final assessment and evaluation to obtain your CME Certificate!
