Submit a request to the System Administrator at CTNtraining@emmes.com for the correction.
Users are encouraged to carefully complete the name of the user during registration (a pop-up will appear to confirm the username) as this name will appear on the certificate upon completion of the course.
User accounts are non-transferrable. Therefore, changing a user of an account is not permitted.
Accordingly, we are tracking utilization of the user accounts. New users will need to create a new account to earn certification.
If the account is fraudulent or appears to be compromised, please contact the System Administrator at CTNtraining@emmes.com. In these cases, we tend to deactivate the account for non-users or implement a password change for an existing user.
Note that each account email address must be unique. So, two accounts cannot share the same email address, which is also the username.
Once a user has successfully completed quizzes for each module with a score of 80% or better (or 100% if required by your IRB), the user will have access to view or print the Certificate of Completion under the Certification page.
To print the current certificate, click the "Print Certificate" button. The certificate will be downloaded as a PDF document and can be printed from the local computer. PDF reader software is required to view or print the downloaded certificate.
The current certificate is visible and available for download on the Certification page until the user chooses to recertify. The certificate expires 3 years after the certification completion date. The completion and expiry dates are reflected on the certificate.
If the system indicates that a quiz needs to be retaken, the user did not obtain the minimum score to successfully pass the quiz. This may occur for one or more quizzes completed. Please continue to retake the quiz(zes) that you have not completed successfully until you receive a passing score. It is a good idea to re-review the module instructional material before retaking a quiz.
If you have completed the course and wish to recertify, please read and follow these instructions carefully.
Current quiz scores cannot be applied towards recertification. The user will need to demonstrate acquired knowledge by retaking all required quizzes.
When ready to recertify, even prior to the expiration of the current certificate, click on the "Recertify" button. Users will NOT be able to recertify unless this button is selected. Once selected, this action cannot be undone.
By clicking Recertify, the course will clear the current quiz scores. When all quiz scores are blank, you may recertify by retaking all required quizzes.
Upon successful completion of all quizzes, the renewal certificate reflecting the revised date will appear on the Certification page.
Note that the certificate previously obtained will no longer be visible or available for download once recertification is complete. Please refer to the certificate downloaded to the local drive and retained for historical record.
During account registration, there is an option for users to select whether the passing score is 100%, which some IRBs require, or 80% as the default. This functionality is a real-time feature that can be activated or deactivated upon registration by the user or post-registration on the backend by the System Administrator, upon request. Users are advised to only activate the 100% minimum score feature, if required.
No, you may navigate through the modules and complete them in any order. Navigate to the Modules page under My Progress to keep track of the modules in progress or the ones completed.
Please submit a request to the Administrator at CTNtraining@emmes.com to change your username, providing the former email address and the current one to replace it. If you forgot your former email address, please provide your full name in the request.
