Welcome to Ashbrooke's world of virtual
learning materials
through CD. This CD provides users with reading materials followed
with challenges to test their knowledge and uptake. The following steps are
recommended when learning using these materials:
-
Read materials in the order of their presentation, for example,
Module 1-1, Module 1-2, Module 1-3 to Module 1-4; then continue to Module
2-1, Module 2-2, etc. The materials are organized to develop the user
progressively.
-
At the end of each Module, for example Module 1-1, Module
1-2, Module 1-3, there is a review designed as a crossword puzzle. It
is in pdf format and requires printing for proper use. Complete the
crossword puzzle. Check the answers by clicking the 
button at the top of any page.
-
At the end of Modules 1-4, 2-3, 3-2 and 4-2 are
Questionnaire references. There is a True/False challenge
questionnaire for each parent Module, for example, Module 1, 2, 3 and 4.
-
Whilst using either puzzles or questionnaires, the user can
review the responses by using the
button at the top of each
page. The user can investigate the response by moving the curser to
the correct response for direction to the reading materials for further user
materials review. (Note: The questionnaires can be confirmed for the
correct response immediately during use by moving the curser to the T or F of the
question then clicking the choice; the crossword puzzle cannot as it's in printable pdf format only.)
-
After Module 1 and any time afterwards, it's
recommended to explore 
.
This can be then reviewed as often as desired to reinforce
your knowledge of the ISO 9001:2008 Standard. You will find this
button at the top of any page.
-
The final 'bench-marking' for testing
yourself is the Audit Knowledge
Challenge. Wait until you have
completed all of the above materials before working through this challenge.
For best results, try this without referring to the learning materials.
At various points throughout the materials, you
will see these boxes:
Stop at this point in your studies and click the
box to attempt the practice exercise. Follow the instructions, as
applicable. For ease, you may wish to print the pdf version of the
Practice
Case Study Background before beginning the exercises. There are model
solutions with each exercise to compare your answer. Should your answers
not be compatible (similar in nature / structure / composition) with the
example, re-examine the previous study sections, then try again. Once you
have succeeded with this exercise, continue your studies. Repeat these
exercises as many times as you need to ensure that you understand the relevant
learning materials. Please contact our office
immediately (001 604 552 0496) or email at
ashbrooke@ashbrooke.com
or print then fax (001 604 552 0497) your exercise results should you continue
to have queries or concerns regarding the exercise.
The 
is in a pdf printable format. It is recommended to print this
examination as early as possible. Reviewing this examination will help
the user better determine the perceived level of technical uptake and applied
knowledge. NOTE: IRCA RULES PREVENT THE PUBLISHING AND
DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIMEN EXAMINATION'S TYPICAL RESPONSES AND ANSWERS.
The user is able to return to
read or review any material at any time by clicking the 
button at the top of any page.
One final recommendation ... explore the CD
before proceeding into the materials by clicking many buttons, sort of an
informal tour of the CD. This will assist in the user's comfort within
the material.
