Most Common Issues

I can’t log in/password reset not working

Contact customer service at elearning@rmcls.com to request a new password.

I can log in, but the course won’t launch

Our eLearning courses automatically launch in a new pop-up window from page 4 of 6 of the main course portal. If the course doesn’t automatically launch in a new window, select View on the course launch page (see below). If the course still doesn’t launch, check your browser to see if a pop-up window was blocked.

If blocked, select Options and always allow our eLearning domain: https://learn.rmcproject.com. Or, navigate to your browser’s pop-up settings and add https://learn.rmcproject.com to your list of allowed sites.

 

I can log in and launch the course, but the course shuts down as soon as I click a page from the course menu

Try this:

  1. Launch the course.
  2. When you get to the message that says “You have previously been in this lesson. Would you like to return to the last visited location?”, select CANCEL, you should see the course tutorial (page 0.1).
  3. Select NEXT to get to page 0.2.
  4. Then use the course menu to navigate to any page.

If you continue to have problems, contact RMC Learning Solutions at elearning@rmcls.com for support. Include the following Information:

  1. Is this a company computer or a home computer?
  2. What kind of firewalls do you have? Please be as specific as possible.
  3. What is your laptop, desktop, or mobile device make and model?
  4. What is your Operating System?
  5. What exact Internet Browser and version are you using?
  6. Send screen shots of the steps you are taking to log in, launch the course, and the point at which it stops working for you so we can see what is happening on your end.
  7. Include screen shots of any error messages.
The course launches, but is completely blank.

A few of our eLearning courses include text-entry exercises that appear throughout the course. There are certain characters that will cause the entire course to appear “blank” when launched if they are typed in to any of these text-entry exercises.

If you are experiencing this issue, contact RMC Learning Solutions at elearning@rmcls.com to re-set your access.

Then, avoid entering the following characters into any text-entry exercise within our course:

  • %
  • =
  • ;
I'm getting an OPCV error or a Time-Out window.

This error can appear after a temporary disconnect from the Internet. Even a brief 5 second interruption that may not be noticeable during regular Internet browsing can cause this error to appear in our learning portal.

This error can also appear if there is an extended period of inactivity while using any of our eLearning courses.

In either case, if you are seeing this error, do the following:

  1. Log out of the course
  2. Shut down any open Internet browser you have
  3. Clear your cache
    Go to: https://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser’s-Cache for instructions on how to clear cache
  4. Log back in again
  5. Select the course and choose Resume.
  6. Navigate back to the Course Launch Page and re-launch the course

If you continue to have problems, contact RMC Learning Solutions at elearning@rmcls.com for support. Include the following Information:

  1. Is this a company computer or a home computer?
  2. What kind of firewalls do you have? Please be as specific as possible.
  3. What is your laptop, desktop, or mobile device make and model?
  4. What is your Operating System?
  5. What exact Internet Browser and version are you using?
  6. Send screen shots of the steps you are taking to log in, launch the course, and the point at which it stops working for you so we can see what is happening on your end.
  7. Include screen shots of any error messages.
The Cumulative Time for my course is not accurate.
Example

RMC is able to accurately view usage data in our admin system. However, the “Cumulative Time” that you see does not always accurately reflect the total time you have spent in the course. If there is any discrepancy, simply ignore the Cumulative Time calculation.

 

You shouldn’t have any issues getting a certificate of completion once you have completed the course. But if you do, contact customer service at elearning@rmcls.com to request a completion certificate.

The course is not tracking my progress

Our eLearning courses are designed to track each page the user has visited by placing a green checkmark next to the page title in the course menu. When you exit the RMC Learning Portal, make sure to select the button rather than simply X’ing out of the browser window or tab. In some environments, closing the course improperly can cause the page tracking to fail.

If you have viewed pages in your eLearning course, but they are not being tracked in the course menu, contact RMC Learning Solutions at elearning@rmcls.com for support.

Include the following Information:

  1. Is this a company computer or a home computer?
  2. What kind of firewalls do you have? Please be as specific as possible.
  3. What is your laptop, desktop, or mobile device make and model?
  4. What is your Operating System?
  5. What exact Internet Browser and version are you using?
  6. Your full name and email address
I can’t get my certificate of completion

Completion certificates are automatically generated after you access every page in your eLearning course. If you have accessed every page, completed the exercises and quizzes, and filled out the survey, but still are not able to view your certificate, contact customer service at elearning@rmcls.com to request a certificate of completion.

My course expired

All RMC eLearning courses are purchased on a subscription basis. Your course subscription begins the first time you access your eLearning course. Access to any course will automatically be disabled by our system after the subscription time limit expires. Contact customer service at elearning@rmcls.com to purchase an extension.

Your Subscription Period Begins the First Time You Log In
Your Subscription Period begins the first time you use this Username and Password to log into the course system and access the course. RMC recommends that you write down the date and time of your first login, so you may keep track of your course expiration. Access to any particular course will automatically be disabled by our system after the purchased number of days, so we encourage you to manage your time wisely and always be aware of the time you have remaining.

License Expiration:
This license will expire one year from the date of purchase if you do not access it (fail to initiate the Subscription Period), or after its defined subscription length—typically 3 days, 30 days or 180 days—once you do access it. Please see the course details page or your purchase receipt for the exact subscription length. For multiple courses purchased as part of a PDU bundle, all courses within the bundle will expire three years from the date of purchase if they are not accessed, or after their defined subscription lengths if they are accessed—whichever comes first.

eLearning Users are Not Allowed to Share Account Access
Under no circumstances is it permissible for two or more people to share the same eLearning account. An eLearning account is similar to a software license, in that the permission to use the service lies solely with one person. eLearning subscriptions are not transferable, and cannot be shared or resold. If account activity indicates multiple users on one account, the account will be terminated immediately and no refund will be given.

eLearning Users are Not Allowed to Teach or Instruct from the Online Course
Although there are a number of people teaching directly (with permission) from RMC’s PMP® Exam Prep textbook, no one will be given permission to use RMC’s eLearning course as an instructional tool for ANY REASON. Doing this is equivalent to sharing account access, and as stated above this is strictly prohibited.

There are No Refunds Available for eLearning
Once your account is activated and you have logged in for the first time, there will be no refunds available on your purchase of eLearning. If you are unsure whether or not your computer system is compatible with eLearning, we encourage you to take our free sample lesson prior to purchasing.
