Training Quizzes

Training quizzes are assessments attached to training documents that verify a trainee’s understanding of the material. Administrators create quizzes using the Quiz Setup Wizard, and trainees complete them as part of the training completion workflow.

Practical example: creating a quiz for a cleaning SOP

Scenario: You need to create an assessment for SOP-CL-003 (Equipment Cleaning — Mixing Vessels) to verify that operators understand the critical cleaning parameters.

1. Open the document detail page for SOP-CL-003 and launch the Quiz Setup Wizard.
2. Step 1 — Basic Information:
   • Quiz Title: SOP-CL-003 Equipment Cleaning Assessment
   • Passing Score: 80
   • Attempts Allowed: 2
   • Time Limit: 15 minutes
   • Competency Level: Intermediate
   • Select Next.
3. Step 2 — Add Questions:
   • Question 1 (Multiple Choice, Medium, 2 points): What is the maximum hold time for a dirty mixing vessel before cleaning must begin? Options: 4 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours. Correct answer: 24 hours. Explanation: Per Section 5.2, dirty hold time must not exceed 24 hours to prevent biofilm formation.
   • Question 2 (True/False, Easy, 1 point): Purified water alone is sufficient for the final rinse of a mixing vessel. Correct answer: True. Explanation: Section 5.4 specifies purified water (USP) for the final rinse step.
   • Question 3 (Short Answer, Hard, 2 points): What is the acceptance criterion for TOC in the final rinse sample? Correct answer: 500 ppb. Explanation: Section 6.1 states the TOC limit is 500 ppb (0.5 ppm).
   • Select Next.
4. Step 3 — Review: Confirm all settings and select Create Quiz.

Operators assigned to SOP-CL-003 training will now see this quiz during the training completion workflow. They must score at least 80% (4 of 5 points) to pass.

Best practices for quiz creation

Tip

• Set the passing score at 80% for standard procedural training.
• Use multiple choice questions for objective assessment of document content.
• Include explanations on every question to provide learning opportunities even when trainees answer correctly.
• Mix difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard) to create a balanced assessment.
• Keep quizzes focused — 5 to 10 questions is typically sufficient for a single document.
• Use the points system to weight critical questions more heavily than general knowledge questions.
