Oh this is just the beginning of the fuckery. Once you finally get in, the actual online training is worse. The training are videos about a lot of common sense shit and most of them are about a hour and a half long. Every part of the video is broken up in roughly 20 to 45 second intervals. That being said you have to click to the next page constantly.

You can't skip and fly through the next button through the videos to the quiz, well you can, but after you complete the quiz it won't issue you a certificate. The program makes you have to watch every second, which I understand however it never tells you to not skip through.

Even if you play by the unwritten rules, if their site lags (because it's a state ran site) it can screw up the order process and show you as skipping through the video(s) and you have to watch the course all over again. The site will auto-log you out if there's 15 minutes of inactivity which happens a lot when you have to have to take the training AND do your job at the same time. If it auto-logs you off you have to take the course all over again.

And finally, the one advisement they did post is that your certificate doesn't post it may be a browser issue with your computer and to email the webmaster. It never says to email with what certificate didn't post and make printable, so you need to email with all the information and the problem or you simply get a reply email asking all these questions.

TL/DR: Potential monitor being thrown out the window due to a government ran shitty site.

Glorious Arstotzka has moved beyond such primitive methods. Artstotzkan officials are simply given unbendable rules and the constant threat of gulag.
