CLASS Self-Assessment
This self-assessment is designed to help you understand your level of preparedness for the CLASS Advanced cohort.  If you are unsure of the answer to a given question, you should complete available tutorials on the web and then return to the assessment once you can complete the task.

You need not know each answer across all three providers - this is about conceptual understanding and actual experience.

For each of the questions, consider whether you can perform the described task and explain it to a researcher.
