How do I complete a course? 

To receive a certificate of completion, you must do the following online: complete each lesson in the course, pass the posttest (passing score is 80% or higher), and answer the feedback survey questions. A green checkmark will appear across from each lesson/section when complete. Each section MUST have the green check mark. Optional Resources are NOT required for the course completion.

How do I know if I completed a lesson?

To complete a lesson, you must click on all interactive content (including case studies), scroll down through all interactive content thoroughly, and answer the knowledge check questions at the end of each lesson.

Turn on the list of sections on the left-hand side so you can track progress inside a lesson. The progress inside the lesson must be 100%.

How do I know if I scroll down the lesson properly?

We suggest using all three scroll bars for a better option for viewing the material of the lesson. Pay attention to all sections inside the lesson (you can view them all on the left side of the screen).

Once the section is completed, the blue circle with a tick will appear.

When you scroll down one section till the end you will get an option to open up the next one.

Why can’t I submit my feedback survey?

If you are unable to submit your feedback survey for a course, most likely you have not completed lessons and taken the posttest. You can check if you have completed this section by looking for the green checkmark on the course menu page across from the section title.

Why can’t I access the posttest in a course? 

The posttest will become active when each lesson is complete. To complete a lesson, you must click on all interactive content (including case studies) scroll through all interactive content thoroughly, and answer the knowledge check questions at the end of each lesson.  

Where can I find my certificate of completion?

It may take up to 24 hours to generate your certificate of completion. Once a certificate is generated, it can be viewed or downloaded at any time in the Certificates section of your profile. 

Why isn’t my course progress being saved?

You may face issues with course progress being saved when using an Ipad or an iphone. Our best understanding of this issue is that the default settings for those devices block cookies, which means that your progress cannot be saved. We recommend using a PC/laptop with the latest version of browsers.

Why isn’t my lesson loading properly?

Users taking our course using the Microsoft Internet Explorer have experienced problems loading pages – sometimes the page will not load and other times there are sections missing from the page. We recommend using one of the following browsers: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, or Opera.
