Once you have successfully logged into the E-training platform, you'll land on the dashboard—a central hub from which you can access all the available training modules, view your progress reports, change settings, and more. The dashboard is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, but taking a few moments to get acquainted with its various features can significantly enhance your E-training experience.

Navigating through the training modules is a critical part of your E-training experience on the platform provided by [Company Name]. Understanding how to access, engage with, and complete these modules will help you gain the most from your training journey.

To begin, click on the 'My Courses' section from your dashboard. Here, you'll see a list of training modules that have been assigned to you, based on your [Job Position] and the skills required for your role within the company. Each listed module will typically show the title, a brief description, and an estimated time to complete it.

Starting a Module: To start a new module, simply click on its title. A new window or tab may open, depending on the platform's design, where you'll be presented with an introduction and a 'Start' button. Clicking 'Start' initiates the module, and you'll be guided through a series of slides, videos, or interactive activities.

Pausing and Resuming: Life happens, and you may need to pause your training midway. You can usually pause a module by clicking a 'Pause' or 'Save & Exit' button. When you return, you can pick up right where you left off by navigating back to the 'My Courses' section and selecting the paused module.

Quiz Section: At the end of each module, you'll encounter a quiz designed to assess your understanding of the material presented. This is a crucial part of the learning experience, as it not only tests your knowledge but also reinforces the key points from the module. Completion of the quiz is often necessary to 'pass' the module and move on to the next one.

Completion and Certification: Once you successfully complete a module and its accompanying quiz, you might receive a certificate of completion or a badge that will appear in a 'My Achievements' or similar section on your dashboard.

Viewing Your Progress: Once you click on the 'Reports' tab, you'll typically see a dashboard that provides an at-a-glance view of your overall training progress. You can see the percentage of modules completed, in-progress, or yet to be started. This is especially useful to gauge how far you've come and what's left to tackle.

Test Scores: Your performance in the quizzes or assessments at the end of each module is recorded and displayed here. This allows you to identify strengths and weaknesses in your understanding of the material. If your scores are lower than you'd like, you might consider revisiting the relevant training modules to improve.

Time Spent: The 'Reports' tab often includes a time-tracking feature, showing how much time you've spent on each module. This information can be valuable for personal time management and could also be required for compliance with certain training mandates within the company.

Export Features: For record-keeping or deeper analysis, the platform usually allows you to export these reports. Look for an 'Export' button, which generally provides options to download the data in PDF or Excel formats. This is particularly handy if you need to share your training progress with supervisors, peers, or for your own records.

Custom Filters: Some platforms offer advanced features like filtering the reports by date range, course type, or other criteria. Utilizing these can help you pinpoint specific data or trends in your training journey.

Being well-versed in using the 'Reports' tab ensures that you're not just passively consuming content but are actively engaged in tracking and improving your performance. This will, in turn, help you get the most out of [Company Name]'s E-training resources.
