Learning Center
Learning Center Pop-Up Blocked
If you receive a notification on your browser that a pop-up has been blocked when selecting the Learning Center, you must enable this within your settings or turn off the extensions that are blocking the pop-up.
Here are instructions on some of the more common web-browser websites on how you can enable pop-ups in order to access the Learning Center:
- Allow pop-ups in Chrome
- Allow pop-ups in Safari
- Allow pop-ups in Mozilla Firefox
- Blocking pop-ups in Microsoft Edge, you will need to allow them.
Can't Access the Learning Center
If you have selected the Learning Center and you are sure that there are no pop-ups being blocked, you will need to wait if this is your first time entering.
When it is your first time entering the Learning Center, the system is creating a new account and can take some time to load depending on certain factors.
Only click the button once. If you click the link multiple times, it will slow the process down and you will need to wait again.
If you are still unable to join the Learning Center after clicking the link or the wait time is too long, please send an email to our support team detailing these issues.
