Phase 1 is the online portion of the school. There are two closed book exams that are 50 questions and last 50 minutes. When you take the tests, make sure you have a very good internet connection, because if you lose connection during the tests, it will count as a failure. You can only fail one test I believe.

Like other posters have said, Phase 1 is all online. It is essentially your 70 hour DL class. This section is all about attention to detail. Read everything as you will be agreeing to it to progress. All instructions are there but some are very specific and will be referenced later. Attention to detail is key.

Some key things to remember with this phase are that it does count towards your academic failures. We had one candidate fail the DL test and then fail the first test and was sent home. Do not take this portion lightly. There are two exams based on two separate course contents. Be sure to be patient after you finish the first exam. Course content for the second exam will not populate until it has been checked on the back end of blackboard and unlocked. You will however be able to get into the second exam and take the test. Do not take the test unless you have reviewed the course content. It is 50 minutes for 50 questions. Make sure your internet connection is strong and you have no distractions. Also, Take WO1 Reed's advice too. It is extremely detailed. In regards to prework, pick a good job such as coin officer, sign officer, energy conservation officer. My advice is stay away from volunteering for the S shops or Standards Officer. Good luck.
