How do I print a certificate?

3. Click on “Print Certificate.”
   

Why don't I see the "Print Certificate" button on the Course Details page even though I've finished the course?
Please launch the course and go to the course map. Make sure that all of the the boxes are shaded next to the post assessment sections. If they are not shaded:

1. You may have received a score of less than 75%.

• The word “review” will be next to the topics that relate to the post assessment questions that were not answered correctly. You can review these topics or you can go directly to the post assessments to answer the questions again.
• After you’ve answered the questions and have viewed the “Lesson Summary” page with the list of topics that have been completed and passed, click on “Quit” in the lower left hand corner of the page to get to the Course Details page. Then click on your browser's Refresh button or click on View (in the upper left hand corner of your screen) and Refresh to update your score and the status of your completion.

Option 1: Make adjustments on your computer.

1. Pop-up blockers may interfere with the CD-ROM version of the course. Make sure that you have diabled your pop-up blocker, or Temporarily Accept Pop-ups From this Site.
2. If the boxes next to “Post Assessments” are not shaded, or if the word “Review” is next to the topics in the lesson, try completing that post assessment again. After you answer all the questions you’ll see the Lesson Summary page that lists the topics that have been passed and completed. Then click on “Quit” to get to the Course Details page that lists your completion status. Refresh this page to see your updated score.

What if the training is running too slowly or freezes up?

Option 1: Email your bureau EEO/Civil Rights contact to get a paper version of the training. Detailed information on using a CD-ROM to access a course and print out a certificate of completion may be found on each CD by clicking on the file entitled “instructions.”

What if my score stays the same even though I've retaken the post assessments?
Be sure you have refreshed the page with your score (after you've closed the course itself.) If you still don't see your updated score contact the helpdesk at 202-208-6278.

Should contract employees take this training?
No. Contract employees are not required to complete this course. Some aspects of the training do not apply to contract employees.

Email your bureau EEO/Civil Rights contact to get a CD-ROM version of the training. Detailed information on using a CD-ROM to access a course and print out a certificate of completion may be found on each CD by clicking on the file entitled “instructions.”

Do I have to review the topics with the "Review" message in the course map?
No. The Review message appears next to a topic when you have answered a post assessment question associated with that topic incorrectly. If your status shows as complete, you need to do nothing more to receive credit and print your certificate. If your status shows as incomplete you can review that topic again for more information or you can go directly to the post assessment to answer the questions correctly.

What if I don’t have access to a computer to take the training?
