    Hi Rudy,

    Yes there is a pass or fail. If you pass you are taken to the result of the lesson or course. If you do not pass you are prompted to retake the quiz. This was addressed in the tutorial that I emailed with the Hazcom intro. My apologies if the instruction was not clear.

    Regards
