The RANZCOG FSEP test is not an assessment of clinical competency. It is a reliable assessment of certain fetal surveillance knowledge and the cognitive skills associated with that knowledge.
From October 2011, the results of the FSEP assessment tool will be reported as a practitioner level (of pass) as well as a raw score. Each participant will receive a letter of results, certificate of attendance and their individual Graphical Item Map (GIM) two weeks after completing the education session.
For more information on how to interpret and use the practitioner levels and GIM, please refer to the following links:
