Check your understanding - HLTA Assessment Tasks

The module is mostly in the form of a quiz. It is a straightforward quiz; not designed to trip you up or to ‘test’ you, but just to ensure you have fully understood what is required in order to maximise your chances of successfully gaining HLTA status. There are 4 sections that can be completed in any order. Overall the module should take between 2 and 3 hours. You are able if you wish to complete different units on different days. You may find it useful to refer to the BPN support materials handbook and the national Preparation for Assessment Handbook available from www.hlta.org.uk.
