FAQs
Question: I have completed all of my training but my name has not shown up on the report. What happened?
Answer: Depending on when you completed it and when we did the report last, you will be recorded on the next report run. However, if it has been more than 2 months since you have completed your training, please send us an email. Sometimes our reports don’t always pick up names especially after the new calendar year. Please send us an email and we will check on that.
Question: I completed all of the courses but my progress bar is not at 100%. Can you help?
Answer: We understand how frustrating this situation can be. Some solutions making sure all questions (fill-in-the-blank, True/False, etc.) are answered and submitted. Another solution is making sure the video is watched to its full length. Clicking to the next lesson even three seconds before it ends won’t record on the LMS.
Question: I am having trouble logging in, who do I contact?
Answer: If you are having trouble logging in, it is probably because your username or password is incorrect. Please keep in mind that you need to make these something you can remember. If you cannot remember them, contact institute@optimist.org for assistance.
