Online radiation protection training by Ionactive - navigating around the training app

Ionactive website vs training application

You buy your course by visiting the following page (we will use the RPS course as an example): Online RPS course purchase.

In order to purchase a course and set up your details you need to register first. This takes place by clicking on the 'Login' button at the top of the screen on any Ionactive web page. The login process (registration in this context) will require you to provide basic details and also receive and respond to an activation email.

Once you have an account and have purchased a course you can proceed to the training app.

You can use the training app without purchasing a course if you have been given admin rights by Ionactive. This is useful where you might be a company training manager and you have put several delegates on the course. You do not have access to a course but instead access to your delegate progress pages (their progress, their test result, access to their training certificates etc).

Payment by credit card - single delegate registration

We envisage most individual delegates will register themselves, purchase a course and then proceed directly to their training.

Payment via purchase order - multiple delegate registration

There is an alternative approach where a company may have a number of delegates that require training and would prefer to purchase these off line (for example by purchase order and BACS transfer). The way this works is as follows:

• The company provides Ionactive with a list of delegate names and email addresses
• Ionactive loads this data into the online training system
• The training system then sends activation emails to all delegates
• Once the delegates have activated their account they can login in the normal way
• Once the purchasing process is complete each delegate will be able to access their course

Under this alternative approach the delegates do not need to place a course in the shopping cart - that process is bypassed.

Training portal on the main Ionactive site

The above stages all take place within the main Ionactive website (www.ionactive.co.uk). Once you are logged in you can then choose your available courses. You click on your chosen course to take you to the online training app.

Online radiation protection training app

You will then need to login to the training app using this page.

Once into the training app you will arrive at your online training home page. From here you can navigate around and check out various features.

Unless you need to purchase another course or change you admin details (e.g. address, card details etc) then you can pretty much stay in the training app from now on. As long as you save the training app address you can go direct to your course without needing to visit the main Ionactive website.

You will probably want to check out your course first - so follow this icon.

Then you are into your radiation training course - dig in and enjoy!

Once into your course the scroll bar on the right changes to a course navigator. From here you can navigate modules, sections in modules, course resource, use the chat messenger service etc.

Do not forget to check out the resources section. Resources could be both global and specific to particular courses.
