FAQ
Technical
Sometimes when completing a Quiz (usually after you have already attempted it at least once and then retaken it), the results don’t save to the Course database, and you are not able to progress to the next Module/Lesson. This is the most common issue Delegates come up against – and the problem is almost always to do with your browser.
It’s caused by “browser caching”. Our courses are very dynamic, particularly with Quiz real-time updating of the database on completion, and sometimes your browser stores (“caches”) a copy of the Quiz page in your browser cache. Then when you try to retake the Quiz, on completion it loads the ‘cached’ page at the end of the Quiz.
This will cause the Quiz’ to not behave as it should as our system thinks you have not completed the Quiz successfully.
The solution is to either:
log out, clear your browser cache, and try logging back in again
try a Private/Incognito window (which will not have any caching)
or try a different browser e.g. Firefox (often the quickest)
This issue is not tied to any particular browser exclusively, although Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera or Brave) seem to suffer from this problem more frequently.
If none of the above solutions don’t work, you can read further on the tab below – ‘Course doesn’t seem to work correctly’.
Or contact Support and we will check the Course is operating correctly – but note we cannot fix issues to do with your browser, and we do ask that you follow the above steps first before contacting us.
If you experience problems progressing through a Course, the chances are that changing to a different browser (particularly trying Firefox or Opera if you’re experiencing issues with Chrome or Edge), or doing some simple maintenance on your web browser will fix it.
- Sometimes closing the browser down completely and then re-starting it may solve the problem
- Or re-booting the PC
Note that our Lesson and Quiz pages may take longer to load than other pages. This is because unlike most website pages, these pages are not “cached” (a copy stored somewhere) – they are freshly loaded every time you visit. This is necessary to keep your progress through the Course up-to-date.
It may however still be advisable to clear the browser cache and/or cookies if you’re having problems.
Here’s a list of simple instructions on how to do that for the browsers we recommend.
