Step 2: Complete all available training.

Click on each one individually to take the training. Please note: if the item is greyed out, the training is not yet available. The date it is available is listed in the description of each course.

What to Do If You Do Not See the Required Trainings Under "My Learning"

If you do not see the “SY 26-27 All Staff Required Trainings” box in your profile, you can self-add the available training under the Discover icon on your BPSLearns homepage.

I am getting a notification 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.
