CONOCER EC0217.01 is Mexico's Nivel 3 competency standard for in-person group trainers. Accredited certifiers evaluate it in an estimated 3 hours (1 hour gabinete + 2 hours campo) by observing a course of at least one 2-hour session and reviewing its products across three elements (prepare, conduct and evaluate), with a judgment of Competente or Todavía no competente. This independent OpenExamPrep bank offers English-language practice MCQs on the standard's planning, delivery and evaluation criteria.

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the CONOCER EC0217.01 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under EC0217.01 Element 1, when must the facilitator check that the resources required for the session exist and work?
A.During the encuadre, while participants introduce themselves
B.At the first break, once the group has used the materials
C.Before the session starts, following the course requirements checklist
D.After the diagnostic evaluation, once the final group size has been confirmed
Explanation: The first performance of Element 1 is checking the existence and operation of the required resources before the session starts, according to the lista de verificación de requerimientos del curso. It includes testing equipment and confirming furniture, facilities, materials, services and didactic resources for the number of participants.
2Which section must the lista de verificación de los requerimientos de la sesión/curso include under EC0217.01?
A.A check of the health, safety, hygiene and civil protection measures in force
B.A section with the participants' signed attendance record for the course
C.A section with the answer key for the summative evaluation
D.A section with the facilitator's résumé and the teaching certificates that support it
Explanation: The checklist must name the course and facilitator, the date and place, and the furniture, equipment, facilities, materials and services required. It must match the planning document and the number of participants. It also includes a section confirming the health, safety, hygiene and civil protection measures in force for the space.
3A trainer reuses a generic equipment checklist from a different course. Under EC0217.01, what makes that checklist deficient for this course?
A.It has not been signed by the evaluation center before the session
B.It lists furniture as well as equipment, although the standard covers only equipment and devices
C.It is not handed to participants during the encuadre for review
D.It must match this course's planned activities, participant numbers and didactic materials
Explanation: EC0217.01 requires the checklist to correspond to the activities in the course planning document, to the number of participants, and to the didactic resources named in that document. A checklist copied from another course cannot show that correspondence.
4EC0217.01 calls the facilitator's guide for a session the 'documento de planeación del curso'. Which other name does the standard's glossary accept for it?
A.Informe final del curso
B.Carta descriptiva
C.Lista de verificación de requerimientos
D.Contrato de aprendizaje
Explanation: The glossary says the documento de planeación del curso may also be called carta descriptiva, planeación didáctica, plan de sesión(es), programa or guía de instrucción. It is the guide the facilitator uses to deliver a session or a whole course.
5Which item does EC0217.01 require the course planning document to contain?
A.The knowledge and skills a participant needs to enter the course
B.The participants' home addresses and telephone numbers
C.The satisfaction results obtained in the previous run of the same course
D.The price per participant charged by the training provider
Explanation: The planning document must describe the course purpose and participant profile, and state the knowledge and skills needed to enter. It also includes the objectives, contents, the three moments of the course, durations, techniques, materials, activities, the way learning is evaluated and bibliographic references.
6Which three moments of training must the planning document consider under EC0217.01?
A.Diagnóstico, intervención and seguimiento
B.Exposición, demostración and debate
C.Inicio (encuadre/apertura), desarrollo and cierre (clausura)
D.Preparación de la sesión, conducción del curso and evaluación final
Explanation: The planning document must consider the moments of training: inicio/encuadre/apertura, desarrollo and cierre/clausura. The glossary defines these as the stages that structure the course, and durations must also be distributed across them.
7A planning document for a 4-hour course assigns 30 minutes to the opening, 2 hours 45 minutes to development and 30 minutes to closing. What problem does EC0217.01's duration criterion reveal?
A.The opening must last at least one hour in any course over three hours
B.Closing time cannot be listed separately from development
C.Nothing, since only the total course duration has to be stated
D.The partial times add up to 3 hours 45 minutes, not the stated 4 hours
Explanation: The duration must be distributed across the opening, development and closing and give the partial time of each activity. The sum of the partial times must match the total hours of the course. Here 30 + 165 + 30 = 225 minutes, or 3 hours 45 minutes, which is 15 minutes short of the stated 4 hours.
8What minimum number of different instructional techniques must the planning document describe under EC0217.01?
A.One per thematic module
B.At least three
C.At least five
D.Only the one used in the observed session
Explanation: The instructional techniques described in the planning document must correspond to the learning objectives and the thematic content, and must include at least three different techniques. The standard's glossary names the expository, dialogue-discussion/debate and demonstration techniques.
9What does EC0217.01 require of the group techniques (técnicas grupales) described in the planning document?
A.At least three different techniques that promote social or collaborative learning
B.At least one integration technique and one closing technique, with no other minimum
C.At least three techniques, all of them energizers placed after breaks
D.One group technique for every hour of course duration
Explanation: The group techniques must correspond to the objectives and thematic content and include at least three different techniques that promote social or collaborative learning. Integration, energizing and closing techniques are then used while conducting the course.
10Which requirement applies to the contenido temático in an EC0217.01 planning document?
A.It lists topics from complex to simple to capture interest early
B.It is written as continuous prose so that it reads like the participant manual
C.It follows a simple-to-complex sequence and is organized in table format
D.It follows alphabetical order so participants can locate topics
Explanation: The thematic content must correspond to the course's learning objectives, present a sequence from simple to complex, and be organized in table format.

About the CONOCER EC0217.01 Exam

Independent CONOCER EC0217.01 practice questions by OpenExamPrep. EC0217.01 (Impartición de cursos de formación del capital humano de manera presencial grupal, Nivel 3) is the Mexican competency standard for people who deliver in-person group training courses. Published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on 13 July 2021, it updates the 2012 EC0217. It covers preparing the session (requirements checklist and planning document), conducting it (encuadre, expository, demonstration and dialogue-discussion techniques, group dynamics and closing) and evaluating learning (diagnostic, formative, summative and satisfaction evaluation and the final report). The standard is published in Spanish, and certification comes from an evaluator observing a real or simulated course and reviewing products, not from a multiple-choice exam. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of those topics; it is not an official translation and does not replace delivering and being observed in a real session.

Exam sponsor: CONOCER (Consejo Nacional de Normalización y Certificación de Competencias Laborales). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Three competency elements of the standard published in the DOF on 13 July 2021: Elemento 1 (Preparar la sesión/curso de capacitación/formación, E4358), Elemento 2 (Conducir la sesión/curso, E4359) and Elemento 3 (Evaluar la sesión/curso, E4360). CONOCER publishes no weighting between elements. The evaluator observes the encuadre, development and closing of a course of at least one 2-hour session, real or simulated, with at least 4 participants, and reviews the requirements checklist, planning document, applied instruments and final report. The result is a judgment of Competente or Todavía no competente.

CONOCER EC0217.01: Suggested Study Strategy

1Learn the three EC0217.01 elements and their products: the requirements checklist and planning document (Element 1), the observed session (Element 2), and the applied instruments and final course report (Element 3).
2Write objectives the way the standard asks: subject, verb, object and condition, plus the purpose (para qué) in the general objective; particular objectives must be congruent with the general one.
3Check the planning document's numbers: at least three instructional techniques, at least three group techniques, simple-to-complex content in tables, and partial times that add up to the total course time.
4Know the criteria of each technique: participants make the synthesis in the expository technique, supervised practice and feedback in the demonstration, and subgroups, moderation and participants' conclusions in the dialogue-discussion/debate.
5Memorize the standard's lists: four domains (cognitive, psychomotor, affective, relational-social), four group types, four participant types, and the evaluation table of types by agent, moments, techniques and instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the official format of the CONOCER EC0217.01 evaluation?

EC0217.01 is evaluated by a CONOCER-accredited certifier. The evaluator observes the encuadre, development and closing of a course lasting at least one 2-hour session, real or simulated, in a room with at least 4 participants (all present, or 2 present and 2 connected remotely). The evaluator also reviews products such as the requirements checklist, planning document, applied instruments and final report. The standard estimates 1 hour of gabinete work and 2 hours in the field. CONOCER publishes no multiple-choice paper or item count.

How is the CONOCER EC0217.01 evaluation scored?

The result is a competency judgment rather than a numeric score. Under CONOCER's rules, the certifying body reviews the evidence portfolio and rules whether the candidate is competente or todavía no competente; a Competente result leads to a certificate issued by CONOCER.

How much does CONOCER EC0217.01 certification cost?

CONOCER does not publish a single fee. Its FAQ says evaluation and certification costs vary by standard and by evaluation center, so candidates should ask a certifier accredited for EC0217.01 in RENEC for a quote.

Does the EC0217.01 certificate expire?

CONOCER says certificate validity is set in each standard, and EC0217.01 does not state a validity period. It lists a suggested review period of 4 years for the standard itself, so candidates should check the current version in RENEC before evaluating.

Is this OpenExamPrep question bank an official CONOCER test?

No. It is an independent, English-language multiple-choice study adaptation by OpenExamPrep for the topics in EC0217.01. It is not an official translation or a simulation of the Spanish-language evaluation, and it cannot replace planning, delivering and evaluating a real course while an accredited evaluator observes.
