When Lesson 1 appears click on the video to start, stop, and rewind. If you are using a tablet, turn it to landscape mode (sideways) so the video will play. Click the green MARK COMPLETE button below each video to advance to the next Lesson. DO NOT use the course outline to move from one lesson to the next or you will not be able to access the evaluation.

If you cannot get the evaluation to open after going through all the lessons, it is because you used the outline on the course page to move between lessons. As explained in Lesson 1 Instructions, if you fail to mark each lesson complete the evaluation will not open. You won’t have to watch each lesson again. Simply return to lesson 1 and click the MARK COMPLETE (or Next Lesson) button below each video. Each succeeding lesson will automatically load. Click the green MARK COMPLETE button on each lesson until you reach the evaluation. If the quiz won’t open, you need to complete the evaluation.
