Resetting Student Passwords

11. May 2012

Forgetting, misplacing, or losing passwords is a common occurrence. This can be aggravating when it is just you, but what happens when you have a corporate account with multiple students, each with their own username and password? Never fear. Did you know that corporate administrators have the ability to reset their students' passwords?

When a corporate student logs in to their account for the first time, they are asked to change their password to whatever they want it to be. Sometimes, however, when they do this, they forget the new password they created. If this happens, the corporate administrator has the ability to reset the password of the student through their admin area.

To do this is simple and easy. When a corporate administrator first logs in to their admin page, there is a link – under the "Student Management" area – that says, "Reset Student Password." By clicking on this link, the student's password will be reset and they can resume their training, avoiding expended time and frustration. For a further explanation of this process, or for further insight into managing your corporate students, feel free to contact us with any questions.

Advance Purchases

17. February 2012

Some of our customers may not be aware of the many advantages they will gain by doing an Advance Purchase with Safety Unlimited. Here are just a few:

The first, and most obvious, is the tremendous savings. In fact, the more courses you buy, the more you will save, up to 75% off the actual price.

Advance Purchase courses also have no expiration dates. This means that you do not have to take the courses right after you purchase them, like you do with other courses. You can take the courses whenever you need to and never have to worry if they will expire.

Along the same lines, the courses you purchase will automatically receive free upgrades. So if a course is updated because a large amount of time has passed from when you first purchased the course to when you take it, you will still be able to take the latest version of the training you signed up for.

Finally, your Advance Purchase courses allow for incomplete training substitutions. This means that if a student does not complete their training, they can be removed from the course and replaced with someone else.

For more benefits – and further information on Advance Purchases– please go to our webpage on Advance Purchase and Volume Pricing.

Track Your Training

12. January 2012

Track Your Training

Have you ever wanted a single spot to store all your employee's online and classroom training documentation, rather than run from a website, to a file cabinet, to the employee, and back again to get all the information you need? If so, we have good news.

In the upcoming weeks, Safety Unlimited, Inc. will roll out a tool that will allow corporate administrators to track training and other events for their employees. What is more, this tool will not just work with training taken through Safety Unlimited, but will also be able to track training that took place outside of our own training. This includes other certifications, training events that occur at your workplace, and training licenses – virtually any training or certification event you can imagine.

Not only will you be able to record these events, but you will also be able to set expiration dates for certification, allowing you to determine when new training is required. You will also be able to upload documents, such as PDF versions or scanned copies of certifications.

Other features you will be able to document include the authority requiring the certification, the type of authority, the specific regulation, the certifying company and/or person, and more.

If you are a corporate administrator interested in using this new feature, contact us to learn more details. If contacted, we can also provide further information on when the features will become available and how to use them.

Avoiding Internet Interruptions

13. January 2010

Internet interruptions can hinder your training experience. Not only can they be frustrating, but they can cause you to spend more time taking a course--time you most likely intended to save by taking the course online in the first place.

Unfortunately, internet interruptions, in many ways, are out of our control and, generally, have more to do with your ISP and hardware than anything else.

So what can you do to avoid this problem? First of all, try to take online training from a high speed internet connection. Dial-up connections, with their slow transfer rates, rarely give enough bandwidth in order to view animations, graphics, and videos--things that are all part of online training. And nowadays, high-speed internet has become much more affordable and available.

Avoid using a wireless connection. Wireless connections, with their variable signal, can result in more internet interruptions. If possible, try connecting your computer directly to a LAN line before beginning online training.

Finally, try to do online training when there are less people on the internet. This will make sure that your internet speed is as fast possible, since you will not be competing with others on the same connection.

By following all of these tips, you should experience fewer online interruptions and maximize your online training experience.
