Online training (OLT)
As soon as the CB-Executive has assigned at least one subscope for the scheme version GLOBALG.A.P. IFA v4.0 in an available language, the auditor/inspector will be able to access the GLOBALG.A.P. Online Academy. This can be done by selecting the Online Training button at the top navigation after logging in.
By selecting the button the auditor/inspector will be redirected to the Personal Desktop > Overview > My assigned trainings of the GLOBALG.A.P. Online Academy just as shown below.
In the GLOBALG.A.P. Online Academy all courses will appear here and remain also after having completed the exams. The reason for this is to enable exam updates. Please, note that there can be a lot of courses placed on the personal desktop, if several subscopes and/or more languages were assigned.
The titles on the Personal Desktop are course titles, what means that every course will contain learning materials, tutorials (eCourses) and at least one exam. Currently there are two courses are available in English. In all other languages there are only exams that have to be passed successfully in order to get approved for one subscope.
For example if an auditor shall be approved for IFA version 4 Fruit & Vegetables, there are five exams to pass:
- General Regulations Part I.
- General Regulations Part III.
- All Farm Base
- Crops Base
- Fruit & Vegetable
The exam can be started by clicking on one title. All relevant information and advises for attempting and passing the test appears.
A single question could look like here:
On the right side of the page there is an additional option: to Postpone a question at any time so as to answer it later. After having answered one question the Next button leads to the next question. Before finishing the exam and just as not to forget to answer postponed questions, the List of questions can be selected at any time while attending the exam. In order to finish the test the List of questions has to be selected as a last step. There all answered and postponed questions are listed. If the exam is completed, Finish the Test is selected.
Finally the test result is displayed, whether the auditor/inspector has passed or failed the test.
If any person needs the proof of having done the exams (regardless of the results), this can be downloaded in a .pdf file right after having finished the exam - or at any time in Personal desktop > Overview > select Exam > Show Test Results. Please, use the button PDF Export.
Has an auditor failed the exams, the person can select the exam again and start a new test attempt by using the button Start New Test Attempt.
After havin done the exams all the answers given can be checked in Show List of Answers.
In Personal Desktop > Learning progress the status of the exams is listed at a glance. Here you also see the explanation of the colours.
