Quick Start Guide

All users must complete the Course Registration process and obtain supervisor agreement/approval on course completion objectives. Once approved users will receive an email notifying them that their account has been activated.

 

1. Disable pop-up blockers (in Explorer go to Tools, then Pop-up Blockers and disable this feature).

2. Conduct a simple PC System test – see eTrain support below (optional).

3. Click User Log-in on the eTrain home page, and enter your user name and password & Log-in.

4. It is recommended that you change your password - you will find this option on the left hand navigation.

5. The courses that you registered for and were approved to take will be listed in the My Plan page. Take these courses first!

6. Locate additional courses by browsing the Catalog (top navigation) or use the Search Engine to find course titles. When you find a course you wish to take click Add To My Plan. Note: if you click Play from search engine results the course will not “save” and “bookmark” itself on the My Plan page.

7. Return to the My Plan page and launch your course.
