The decision they practise

In “Phil and Yvonne”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “How a missing survey becomes an exposure” and “Two ways the project could start”.

How you know they finished

The 10-question quiz mixes multiple choice, matching and sequencing questions and returns to the opening story.
