I can login but the video is not playing

If you can login and the video is not playing, it is more than likely a buffering issue. This means that the electronic device you are using may be too old or outdated. TROUBLE SHOOTING TECHNIQUES:

1) Shut down computer completely. Let it sit for 1 full minute then power it back on.
2) Use minimal applications and web pages at the same time.
3) Try watching the video from another device. If it works on one device, but not the other, then it will be an issue with the device it does not work on.

The progress bar and list of lessons will give you an idea of your progress within a course. For each lesson completed (includes watching the ENTIRE video and taking the online test that follows), your progress will be updated.

(see below) For you to get the green check mark you must make sure to click the “Continue” button to complete the course and have your progress updated.

Can I take a test without watching the accompanied video?

NO. The purpose for online courses is for drivers to watch the entire video. The online test will be accessible at the videos completion.
