Troubleshooting Access Issues

If you cannot click into the first lesson or receive an error message following your initial attempt to access the program:

1. 1. Ensure you are logged into the learning center and see the words "My Account" in the top-right.
      1. If you see "Log in" instead, log in to your account using the same username and password you established during registration.
      2. If you are already an NCAP member then log in using your ncpharmacists.org account
   2. Click "Programs" in the upper-left corner, locate the "Hormonal Contraception Training" package using the search bar, click "Details"
      1. This should open the program for you to begin your training

If you have watched a video and the lock has not come off to allow you into the next section there are a couple things to try:

1. 1. When loading a module page, the player will take a couple extra seconds to fully load in, if you hit play before it has fully loaded your credit will not be tracked.
   2. Accessing from a managed device or work computer, often times these devices have internet blockers that will prevent the tracking cookie from accurately tracking your completion %(You need to view 90% of the video before the lock will come off)
   3. Watching in separate sessions. While this does not always cause trouble it can sometimes prevent the lock from coming off. Try to watch the video in full in one playthrough for best results.
      
   4. Leaving the window while the video is playing. If you click off the tab or bring another window into focus it can prevent the system from taking off the lock sometimes.
