There is this notification I am getting about completing a quiz. What does this mean?

A common notification that participants receive is that they have to complete a quiz in a course/training. All required annual BPS district trainings in BPSLearns have quizzes that participants must pass in order to earn a certificate and be marked as having completed the training.

Please note that you will receive daily or weekly notifications to remind you to complete the required quizzes in order to receive a certificate of completion for each training.

Earning a certificate of completion means that you have completed the required course.
