My Course is Stuck and I Can't Move On (And Other Navigation Issues)

If you are having difficulties working in the course:

99% of issues with course navigation are fixed by clearing your cache.

Clearing your cache means deleting non-essential information your device automatically stores when visiting a new site or opening an app. Too much cache can slow your computer and prevent it from retaining your progress when using courses that include video and interactive elements.

Clearing your cache is easy is quick and easy to do (and makes your computer run much quicker and smoother). 

The easiest way to get directions is to ask Google: “How Can I Clear My Cache in [Browser name] on my [Device type – PC, Macbook, Android, or iPhone]?  Once you clear your cache, make sure to restart your computer.  

Step-by-step instructions are also included on your course page under, Need Help?

How Can I Save My Work On The Course Workbook?

There are two ways to record your answers on your course workbooks:

  1. The first option is to print the workbook as you find it in your course.  In each module, the first Try it! has a link to the workbook; you can open it up and print it. 
  2. The second option is to download the eWorkbook from the Resources Tab (top R corner of each module) and save it to your computer desktop.   It will save as a fillable PDF.  When you are ready to work on the eWorkbook, open it up and type directly onto the page.  Every time you close out of the document, you will be asked if you would like to save your changes. Click yes. 
I Forgot My Password?

If you would like to change your password for any reason, simply: 

Reset it on our login page here by clicking on the link “Forgot your password?” on the bottom side of the screen.  You will receive a temporary password to your email address with resetting instructions.

What Payment Options Do You Have?

We serve a global audience and offer various payment options to simplify purchasing a course.

We currently accept the following types of payments: 

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express
  • Discover
  • Diners Card
  • Paypal

If you are having issues making a Credit Card (Stripe) payment for a course, the most common cause is that the card has restrictions on cross-border usage. If the card was issued in a country other than the United States, you should contact your bank to see if you have this restriction, and if so, ask if it can be removed.

Another option is to check out using our PayPal payment gateway. You can also ask for an invoice for a wire transfer. 

The Course Video Won't Play

If you are having issues with video playing correctly in the course:

This means you need to clear your cache (see response above under Navigation Issues), or you might be experiencing bandwidth issues. 
If it is a bandwidth issue, suggestions include waiting until a less busy time OR moving to a different location. 

If the above is not feasible (you cannot find a better time or location), reach out to discuss other options.  

I Want to Review My Completed Course. How Do I Locate It?

How can I revisit my completed course? 

Once you have completed your course, it will be moved to the back page of your dashboard.   You can find it by clicking the blue View All My Courses button on the bottom R side of your dashboard.
