How do I determine how much memory my machine has?

During the boot process, your computer will briefly display how much memory it has.

Do I need to use the same computer every time I want to log on?

No, you don't. You can use any Internet-connected computer, as long as you know your learner ID and password, and as long as the computer you use fulfils the technical requirements above.

Do I have to be connected to the Internet the entire time I am taking a course?

Yes, each course is completely Internet-driven; nothing is downloaded to your computer. If the cost of using the Internet to complete your courses concerns you, please contact your local Internet Service Provider to find out when it is most economical for you to log on.

When I log on, I get the error message " Invalid Login ID or Password ". What should I do?

It is more than likely that you have entered the wrong ID or password.

  • Check to make sure that your caps lock key is not on.
  • If there is a number in your password, try using the numbers above the letter keys to ensure you are typing in the numbers or check the num-lock key on your number keypad.

Do Here2Learn courses include audio?

Yes. Sound is included in self-paced courses to complement the learning. If you do not have a headset or speakers when you are taking a self-paced course, this will not impede your learning.

Back to top

Can I return directly to the page I finished on last session?

Yes. All you have to do when terminating a session is click the exit button, not the X button. This guarantees that on your return, the system will ask you if you want to resume where you left off, and will take you to that same page. Think of it as a bookmark.

Back to top

What if my Internet connection goes down?

If your Internet connection goes down, don't worry. If you're in the middle of a topic, it will still be available to you when you get things up and running again. Unfortunately, the bookmark does not work automatically in this situation.

Does Here2Learn keep records of my progress?

Yes we do - our system tracks the courses you start, and your progress in those courses. A record of the progress you make is always visible to you on your personalised page.

Can anybody else see how I'm doing?

No - your training with us is strictly confidential.
Only our system administrator and your mentor have access to your progress in the system if they need to investigate any problems you may be having.

Does Here2Learn share my contact details with anyone else?

No, absolutely not. Your details remain with us alone. Please take the time to read our privacy statement.

How do I pay for courses if I don't have a credit card?
