Training Format

Each staff member logs into the training portal on their own phone or computer — no group sessions required. The full training takes approximately 2 hours, but it's broken into short modules so staff can complete it at their own pace: one hour today, another hour tomorrow — whatever works for their schedule.

Self-Paced & Individual

Log in anywhere, anytime

Each staff member has their own login. They complete training independently — no need for everyone to be in the same room at the same time. Pause anytime and pick up right where you left off.

~2 Hours Total, Split Into Modules

20 minutes per module

Six short modules of about 20 minutes each. Staff can do one module today, two tomorrow — the portal tracks progress automatically and saves where they stopped.

Knowledge Checks After Each Module

Short quiz to confirm understanding

After each module, staff complete a short quiz (5–10 questions). They must score 80% or higher to unlock the next module — similar to training at major retailers like Lowe's and Home Depot.

Certificate of Completion

Proof of training for each staff member

Once all six modules are passed, the staff member receives a completion certificate. Managers can see who has completed training and who still has modules remaining.

How the Knowledge Checks Work

After each module, staff answer 5–10 short questions. They need 80% to pass and unlock the next module. If they don't pass, they can review the module and retake the quiz — as many times as needed. The portal records every attempt, so management can see who passed on the first try and who needed extra review. This is the same model used by Lowe's, Home Depot, and other major retailers for staff onboarding.
