FAQs
Why won’t the next button work?
- Make sure you have completed all tasks on that page (including watching videos). Click the ? icon for a reminder on instructions. If there are no tasks to complete, wait a bit longer to click the next button. Some pages do not let you proceed until all tasks are completed and/or a certain time has passed to ensure you learn all content before proceeding.
Why can’t I skip ahead to another topic?
- Since the learning builds upon itself, we want you to follow the course in a pre-determined sequence. Once you complete each module, you are able to return to the module and look at the lessons in any order.
I had to stop the course and return back later. Why is it making me go back to content I already looked at?
- The Learning Management System (LMS) website will remember the last lesson (left side menu item) that you finished. The LMS website does not remember what page you were on in a lesson. If you did not finish a lesson, the LMS will bring you back to the beginning of the lesson so that you complete that lesson start-to-finish. Also when you return to a lesson it will start you back at the beginning again.
I do not see video controls.
- If you are using Firefox and the video controls are not visible, visit https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1093772 for instructions on how to correct it.
How do I download my certificate?
- Your certificate will be available after you complete all five modules. A new section will appear on the top of the Modules list. Click the button to view/download your PDF certificate.
How do I claim and share my digital badge?
