  • At the bottom of the Introduction and Welcome screen click on “Learning Log” to enter your contact information and to begin your Learning Log.
  • Once you have completed all of the required information for your learning log, minimize your learning log so that you can access it periodically during the training session.

  • Return to the Introduction and Welcome screen to begin the training.
  • When you have completed the training and entered your answers to all of the questions in the Learning Log, click the “Submit” button ONLY ONE TIME. Clicking it more than once will cause your answers to be entered into the database multiple times.

(You may find that it doesn’t all print out. If so, hit the print button, scroll down to the next section, print that section, scroll and print again until you have the entire document.)
