Learning Home · Training before assessment
Prepare for an assessment
Learn what is being tested, see a worked example, practise, then try a mock. Assessments check a skill you have already built — they are not the place to learn it.
Preview · Sample data — Demo practice content.
Practice content is written separately from DOI's scored assessments and never contains real assessment items. Practice scores are for you only — they are not assessment results and are not shown to clients or employers.
Pipeline reporting
Produce an accurate weekly pipeline view and state its limitations.
What the real assessment looks at
- Correct totals and movement
- Handling of stale or duplicate records
- A caveat a manager can act on
2 · Worked example
A practice export has 40 open deals; 6 have close dates in the past. A strong answer reports the total excluding the 6, lists them separately with their value, and explains that the total would be overstated if they were included.
3 · Practice questions
1. Practice: two records share a company and amount but different owners. Best first step?
2. Practice: where should the main caveat sit?
4 · Mock simulation (~30 min, self-checked)
Mock: 30-minute practice report
Use any practice dataset of your own (or the DOI course's demo file) to produce a one-page view with a caveat. Self-check against the listed criteria.
Workplace written communication
Write updates and escalations that a busy reader can act on.
What the real assessment looks at
- Lead with the point
- Clear ask and date
- Neutral, professional tone
2 · Worked example
Weak: 'Hi, just checking in about the thing.' Strong: 'Decision needed by Thu: approve the revised delivery date (Mon 6 Oct) or add one editor to keep Fri.'
3 · Practice questions
1. Practice: which opening line is strongest?
4 · Mock simulation (~15 min, self-checked)
Mock: rewrite a weak update
Take any vague message you have received (remove names) and rewrite it using Done / Next / Blocked.
AI output evaluation
Rate AI responses consistently against a written rubric and justify each rating.
What the real assessment looks at
- Rubric adherence
- Consistency across similar items
- Clear, short justifications
1 · Learn first
2 · Worked example
Practice rubric: 'Accurate, complete, follows the user's format.' An answer that is accurate but ignores a requested bullet format scores lower on format only — the justification names that single reason.
3 · Practice questions
1. Practice: a response is correct but twice the requested length. How do you rate it?
4 · Mock simulation (~25 min, self-checked)
Mock: rate five practice answers
Write five questions yourself, get answers from any AI tool, and rate each against the practice rubric with one-line justifications.
