|
|
|
B. All test takers will undergo a brief orientation on the test mechanics. This is done at the day of the test.

MGSI is not expected to teach the crew on how to operate the pc. |
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
E. Results are printed immediately right after the test. Two copies of the test result are given to the candidate: one personal copy and the other copy for presentation to the requesting unit/fleet. |
|
|
|
F. A master file of all test results is kept at MGSI following the audit directions from Marlins UK. |
|
|
|
