Ask a Question

You can ask GS Yuasa Academy a question at any time – simply enter it into the ‘Ask a Question’ box situated on the right of the course and module pages and we’ll get back to you with a response ASAP.

Course Overview

Clicking on a course will take you to a course overview page – this contains:

1.     Short video giving you an introduction to the course
2.     A list of the course modules (these must be completed in order)
3.     Link to take the end-course test

Module Overview

Each module contains 2 elements:

1.     A short video providing you with the information needed to take the module test
2.     An end-of-module test

To complete the module you need to watch the video and take the test. Once this is complete you can move onto the next module.

End of Course Test

When you have completed all the modules in a course you can take the end-of-course test. You will be shown random multiple choice questions and have to answer them all correctly before you can proceed to the next course.

Handy Hint – if you get some questions wrong you can view the correct answers once the test is finished…but remember the questions are random so you might not get the same questions again!

Your Progress

Select this menu item to check your progress on your enrolled courses – expand the course to reveal what percentage of the course you have completed.

When you have completed a course you will see a green tick and a certificate icon to show that you have passed. Clicking the icon will allow you to view/download the certificate.
