This five-module online training takes approximately one and a half hours to complete and is a prerequisite for attending the face-to-face CLAS-E Writing Scoring Training. For each module, you will read some information relating to one aspect of the CLAS-E Writing. The five modules are as follows:

• Module 1: CLAS-E Writing Overview
• Module 2: What to Do Before Administering the CLAS-E Writing
• Module 3: Administering the Locator Interview and Locator Test for First-Time Test Takers
• Module 4: Administering and Scoring the Multiple-Choice Portion of the CLAS-E Writing Test
• Module 5: Administering the Expository Writing Portion of the CLAS-E Writing Test

When you have completed all modules, you will be certified to administer the CLAS-E Writing, and a confirmation page will load. You will also receive an email confirmation that you have completed the training, which you can keep for your records and forward to your program director as needed. ACLS and the Center for Educational Assessment at UMass-Amherst will automatically receive notification that you completed the training, so you will not need to contact either organization. Please note that you must attend the face-to-face CLAS-E Writing Scoring Training to become certified to fully score the CLAS-E Writing.
