The system will remember where you left off and ask you if you want to resume once you login the next time. If you try to close the browser window without an internet connection, you will be notified that your results could not be saved.

If you do not re-establish your internet connection and click the "OK" button, your results will not be recorded, and you will need to retake the content.
Bandwidth is the speed/transfer rate at which you are connected to the internet. If you are using a dial-up Modem, this is considered to be a slow to moderate speed for data transfer and content may load more slowly. Check with your IT department to be sure low bandwidth is not the problem. You might also inquire with your IT department about firewalls in terms of e-learning, webinars:
Try logging in from another computer from a different location. For example, if you are accessing content from home, try accessing it from work or the library. It is also possible the content management system that EPE uses is not working properly. As we become aware of content management system failures, we will notify all users accordingly.
There are a variety of exam question types used throughout the mini exams and the final, comprehensive exam. Question types include true/false, multiple choice, select all the apply, and sequence. Please consider the question type when selecting or providing an answer.
Please note: exam question content is pulled from course audio, the syllabus located in the resource tab of each module, and from the videos throughout the course. Consider reviewing each prior to taking the exam.
We understand that Learners now want to access eLearning content on all kinds of devices and in all kinds of environments. While mobile learning options can be really convenient, the technology they rely on can cause problems beyond the learning platform (LMS). It can be difficult to fully control the kinds of technologies and devices learners use to access course content.
The range of browsers and versions of browsers used are often a culprit. Some browser plugins may prevent a course from communicating completion statuses back to the LMS. Other issues can be generated by the dependence of SCORM and xAPI course content on Flash technology, which might not be supported by every browser.
With that in mind let's see if we can move you forward.
