📝 Overview
If you've been assigned training in Cognidox, you’ll find it in your My Training portlet. A course might involve reading documents, watching videos, taking a quiz, submitting evidence, or all of the above.
This article explains how to work through a training requirement from start to finish.
📍 Step 1: Go to your training
-
Open the My Training portlet on your Cognidox homepage.
(If the portlet isn't visible, enable it by dispalying your LMS home page, going to My Account > Manage Portlets.) -
You’ll see a list of:
-
In Progress courses you’ve started but not finished
- Pending courses you haven’t started
-
Awaiting Assessor courses that still need to be marked
-
-
Click on Start or Continue next to an active course to open it.
(You can click Status next to a completed course that's awaiting assessment.)
📖 Step 2: Complete the training material
Each course may contain one or more training items:
-
Documents
-
Videos
-
External links
For each item:
-
Click to view or open it — it will be displayed in the preview panel on the right
-
Read/watch the training materials carefully; you also have the following options if the document is stored on Cognidox:
- Go to Document Details Page
- Download Document so you can read offline
