Navigating and attending online courses
All Inspectioneering Training courses are self-paced and available on demand. Your progress is saved to your account automatically as you go, so you can stop at any point and pick up right where you left off, even on a different device. There's nothing to configure in your browser, and you don't need to close anything for your progress to be recorded.
Starting a Course
Once you're enrolled, you can start a course from two places:
- Your Dashboard, which lists all of your courses. Click the play button on any course to open it.
- The course page itself, where the button reads "Continue Learning" once you're enrolled.
Either way, the course opens in the course player and takes you to your current lesson.
The Course Player
The course player shows your current lesson in the main area, with a sidebar listing the full course outline. Courses are organized into modules, and each module contains individual lessons. The sidebar shows your overall progress along with a completion count for each module, and it can be collapsed if you'd like more room for the lesson itself.
The sidebar also has two other tabs worth knowing about:
- Notes lets you jot down notes for the course or for the specific module you're in. Everything you write is also collected on the My Notes page in your account.
- Resources contains downloadable files and reference links provided with the course, grouped by module.
Moving Through Lessons
Lessons are completed in order. Each lesson in the sidebar is marked with a status:
- A green checkmark means the lesson is complete.
- An in-progress indicator means you've started the lesson but haven't finished it.
- A padlock means the lesson is locked until you complete the required lessons before it.
You can freely revisit any lesson you've already completed. Click its title in the sidebar to jump back to it at any time.
Lesson Types
Courses are built from a few kinds of lessons, and each is marked complete a little differently:
- Videos are complete when you watch them through to the end. You can rewind at any point, but fast-forwarding is limited to the furthest point you've already watched. Your position is saved continuously, so if you leave partway through a video, you'll resume from that spot.
- Reading content is complete once you've viewed it.
- Comprehension checks are short quizzes that require a passing grade. You can retake them as many times as you need.
- Final exams are timed and allow a limited number of attempts, shown before you begin.
- Surveys are complete once submitted.
Finishing a Course
A course is complete when all of its lessons are done. Your dashboard will show the course with a green "Completed" badge, and your certificate is generated right away. You can view and download it from the Certificates page in your account.
