Some compliance courses that are not mandatory for all users in a group may be assigned as “optional” so the individuals who do require the course have on-demand access.

3. To find optional assignments, follow steps 1 or 2 and then scroll down the Compliance Assignments page to find courses assigned as optional.  

Please note: If you have completed all mandatory compliance assignments, an assignment reminder will not appear on your Percipio homepage for any optional content. You will still be able to access the course(s) by following the instructions in Step 2.

You will access your certificates in different locations depending on the type of training the course was.

Typically, if a course is stuck on a loading page, it is due to cookies being disabled on your browser. Cookies can help to track your course progress and can be required for some videos to play.  If this is the case, typically you will see an icon in your URL bar that indicates cookies are being blocked (displayed). 

1. If you see one of these icons when you launch the course, click on it to allow cookies.
2. Alternatively, follow the instructions for your browser to allow cookies:

3. If problems persist, submit a support ticket.

When taking a Vector Solutions course (ex: Title IX, Sexual Harassment Prevention, Discrimination Awareness):

1. When you watch a video that includes a quiz or scenario question at the end, make sure that you click the “play” button after answering the final question so the system can track that you’ve completed the entire video. If you return to the Course Details Page with the back arrow at the top, your progress will not be saved.

Percipio provides base study materials for these exams free of charge, but the costs associated with obtaining the certification itself, such as examination fees and other certification-related expenses like the learner kit (a Project Management Institute requirement), are not covered by our platform. To pay for these certification-related expenses, the user may choose to cover the costs individually, or, departments may have dedicated funds for professional development. We encourage users to contact their supervisors to see if there is an option for reimbursement.  

To obtain the learner kit, follow the steps below: 

1. Create a free PMI account (if you have not already).

2. To obtain the learner kit, purchase it at the following link: https://www.skillsoft.com/pmp-voucher-offering.

3. Once purchased, Skillsoft creates a voucher code that the user can then enter on the PMI website to gain access to the kit.

4. Voucher codes can be redeemed here: http://pmi.lochoice.com/
