Getting started as a learner
Sign in for the first time, find the training assigned to you, and see what is recorded as you go.
Summary
Your organization uses QubicAcademy to assign you required training and keep a record that you completed it. You sign in at your organization's own address, accept the agreements once, and find everything assigned to you under Your training.
Why it's needed
Some training is required by law or by your employer's policy, and your organization has to be able to show that you completed it. QubicAcademy delivers the training and keeps that record, so neither you nor your organization has to collect certificates by hand.
Key terms
- Organization: the company that set up your account. It assigns your training and owns its records.
- Program: a set of training items, such as modules, a short assessment and an attestation, with a due date.
- Attestation: your confirmation, by typing your full name, that you completed the training.
How it works
- Your organization creates your account with your work email and usually sends you an invitation. Open it and choose a password (or sign in with your company account where your organization allows it). Without an invitation, go to your organization's QubicAcademy address and choose Set a password with an emailed code on the sign-in page.
- Sign in. The first time, you are asked to read and accept the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. Each one unlocks its checkbox once you have scrolled to the end of it.
- Open Your training to see what is assigned and when it is due. You get an email when something is assigned, reminders before it is due, and a notice if it is overdue. You can turn off the reminders before the due date in Email settings; the others are always sent.
- Change which optional emails you receive in Email settings. Emails that are required, such as password codes and sign-in alerts, are always sent.
Role-based access
| You are | You can |
|---|---|
| A learner | Take the training assigned to you, see your own progress, change your email settings |
| Staff with other roles | Everything a learner can, plus the admin console sections your roles allow |
How it connects
What you do in training is recorded for your organization; see Privacy and cookies for exactly what, and for how long. Some programs ask you to confirm who you are first; see How identity verification works.
Tips
- Sign out when you finish on a shared computer. Sessions also end on their own after a period of inactivity.
- Your organization, not QubicAcademy, answers questions about your training.
Troubleshooting
- No code arrives. Check spam and that you typed the address your organization has on file. Codes expire after 10 minutes; ask for a new one. If none ever arrives, ask your administrator to confirm your email address.
- "Too many attempts from here." Several wrong passwords paused sign-in from your location. Wait the time shown, or set a new password with an emailed code.
- The checkbox will not tick. Scroll the document to the end, or press Scroll to the end to accept.
