How does the training course work online?
All course materials are posted in the course dashboard, within each module. You will need to watch any provided videos, complete the reading materials and activities,  complete the quiz for each module, and then attempt the final exam. As you complete the quizzes, the etraining system will track your course progress and scores. Your quizzes are automatically corrected and a score is provided to you after you have submitted the quiz. The final exam will be manually graded by the RSTP etraining staff.

Can I share the online training course with other friends and colleagues? To maintain the integrity of the program and allow the tracking of learning progress for an individual student, we ask that you do not share your course login information. Instead, we encourage others to register directly with us.

How do I access a course?
If you have been enrolled in the course, it will appear under "My courses". If a particular course is available for enrollment, you can choose to self-enroll, and will receive a confirmation of enrollment within 24 hours, M-F.

How do I get back to the course dashboard?
Use the left-side navigation and select the "SAH101EN" menu item. Avoid using the ‘back’ button of your browser!

Where has the course module content gone?
You have probably clicked on the tile to hide/reveal the Module content. To reveal the modules content you'll need to click on the Module tile again.

Do I have to complete the course in one sitting?
No, you can sign out and login in as many times as you want until you are finished, however the final exam will need to be done in one sitting.

Is there a time limit for this course?
Yes, there is a certain time limit for all courses. Your enrollment expires when the application submission period for becoming a SAH closes.

Why is there a time limit for completing a course? 

Our online courses are most effective when taken within the timeframes we allow for the program. Prolonging the course completion period reduces the continuity of course content and lowers retention ability, making your online training experience less effective.
