I've received an error message when submitting my answers, what should I do?

If you receive an ‘invalid user status’ message as pictured when submitting your answers, it is likely because the cookies have expired due to the page being open for longer than expected. Simply refresh the page and your results will be submitted correctly.

If you come across a different error message, please contact support for further advice.

Is my progress in the course saved?

The system automatically saves your learning progress. If you need to leave and come back at any point, the system will remember and you can pick up from the point you left.

Are there handouts available to download?

Some courses have extra materials available to download, such as course manuals and a glossary of terms. Scroll down the course page to see, and click on the filename to download a .pdf document.

Exams and certification

What is the difference between a quiz and an exam?

During a course, you may have quizzes to test your knowledge on a particular part of what you have learned. These are intended to form part of the learning process and check you haven’t missed something important.

An exam is performed at the end of a course, to test your knowledge of the entire subject area and validate all of your learning. This is what will qualify you for a certification, if one is attached to the course.

What if I cannot complete the exam within the time limit?

If you reach a time limit in an exam, the system will automatically end your session. All answers you have selected up until that point will be used to calculate your score.

What happens if I fail the exam?

The exam is designed in a way to test for a comprehensive understanding of the course content. If you find it challenging, we recommend reviewing the course leading up to it to gain a greater understanding.

You can also review the incorrect answers you gave. Click “See Your Answers” on the final score page,  to review any answers that were incorrect and the reason why. That way, you can learn from your mistakes ahead of your next attempt.

Where can I find my badge and certification?

When you complete a course, you’ll be given the opportunity to download your certificate. You can redownload the certificate for any course at any time from the page for that course.

You can also earn badges throughout your experience in Console Connect Academy. You can find all of your digital badges in the Gamification tab at the top of the page. You can share these digital badges on social media to spread the news of your success.

What should I do when my certification expires?

Some courses have expiration dates on certification. Taking the course again will extend your certification and allow you to brush up on your knowledge and any new developments since you last took the course.
