IMIST is an interactive e-learning training program delivered by Atlas-Knowledge. It works by assessing the safety knowledge of an oil and gas worker during a random sequence of assessment questions.
At the end of this assessment, which is completed under time-bound conditions, the program will automatically and dynamically assemble a unique course for each individual based on their knowledge gaps identified in the pre-assessment.
The candidate is then presented with this content and the relevant summative assessment questions.
This process is repeated until the candidate has managed to answer all the assessment questions correctly. A 100% pass mark is required to complete the OPITO IMIST program
