The courses in Access University provide two different ways to navigate a course.

When you click on a course title, you will be taken to a page that displays the full course content. You can work your way down the page content (including text, videos, self-assessments, and a final exam) to complete the course, or use the course navigation, located on the upper-left-hand side of the screen.

Recommended: We recommend using the course navigation on the upper-left-hand side of the screen to break the course content into more digestible chunks of information.

Course "Welcome" page

The course Welcome page/section provides some very useful information, including:

  • course audience (e.g., content authors, programmers, managers, legal counsel, etc.),
  • prerequisite courses you should complete,
  • course objectives and outline,
  • completion requirement (i.e., a link to the final exam),
  • and a time estimate for the length of the course.

How to complete a course

The final exam is required to complete the course. The self-assessments are optional.

Each time you complete a course you will receive a Course Completion Certificate that you can send to your supervisor or refer to during performance appraisal season as proof of completion.

Note: It can take up to 24 hours for your report to be updated and your certificate to be available after completing a course.

Download or email your certificate in the Reflect section of the course(s) you completed.

Page where you can download your course completion certificate or email it to yourself or others.
