Instructor Questions

Please read the suggestions below for answers to common questions.

How do I evaluate a student who has done an online course and come to me to do the hands on part?

  • If you click "Student Skill Eval" in the "Students" tab, you will be able to look up students by either User ID Number or Certificate Number.
  • The student should have one or both of these numbers when they arrive.
  • After locating the student, choose the date of the evaluation and mark that the skill evaluation was passed for the course that you evaluated them on.
  • You may also upload supporting documents such as the skills checklist.
  • The student will be able to print off their completed certificate once they log back into the website.

Performing skill evaluations is a good way to earn extra money without minimal time investment.  If you are listed as publicly viewable on your profile, students will be able to find you on our directory and may contact you for this service.

Can I add students so they receive refresher emails even if they have not done a ProTrainings course?

Yes, you can click on "Add Student" from the "Students" tab of the Instructor Dashboard to add students who are not associated with a class.  This way, they will be attached to you and may receive weekly refresher emails that mention your name.  You may choose to enter their current certificate expiration date so they will be reminded when it is time to re-certify.  This also makes it easier if you teach them in a future class, as you will only have to associate them with the class instead of signing them up again.

How do I manage students?

  • One way you can use the student filter is searching by last name. This will show you all course records for any student matching your search.
  • Another method is by clicking the "Student Activity" numbers. This is a quick way to see at a glance which students have expired, are expiring soon, or have recently certified.
  • Finally, you can generate reports based on certification status, course, and company (if you have sold to companies).
  • While viewing reports, you may edit student records, disassociate students from your account, and print certificates.
