How are the training units organised?

The Lloyds Register Training course has been carefully designed to ensure that you can find your training as easily as possible.

Below outlines the 'flow' of things on the site;

Name Example Description
Lloyds Register Training lr-training.org Your Training Home.
course module Protective Coatings Application The name of a particular Course Module.
unit folder Health and Safety A folder or sub-folder within a course module (see above). Folders are used to organise the training units (see below) into understandable and accessible sections.
unit Company Induction A unit is a single 'portion' of training, which is easily digestible. Each unit consists of;
  • Instructional slideshow with text, voiceover (if available), images, animations and videos.
  • A selection of 'tools' to help with your training.
  • A printable handout for 'further reading' to advance your knowledge.
  • An assessment that tests your understanding of the above.

How do I commence training?

Simply go to the particular training module, such as Protective Coatings Application in the example above and click a unit folder icon (e.g. Health and Safety) and you will be given a drop-down list of all the training units (e.g. Company Induction)

What happens when I select a training unit?

Once you select a training unit, the unit objective will appear on the screen along with the 'Unit Options' and 'Tools' in the sidebar. You can click the 'enable voiceover' button in the Unit Options to toggle the voiceover (if available).

What will I find in the presentation slides?

The slide contents vary, but can include Videos, Animations and images as well as accompanying Slide Notes.

How do I move through the presentation?

You can use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons to move from slide to slide.

Alternatively you can use the < and > keys on your keyboard (just above the right shift button) to go forward and back in the same manner.

Can I save the handouts to my hard-drive?

yes, when you open them with Adobe Reader, there is the option to save.

Can I access any of the media in a presentation?

Yes. Within the presentation 'introduction' (or overview/objective) you can click the 'tools' tab to get access.

Do I need to view all slides and listen to voiceover?

Yes, you must complete all slides, although it is your choice to listen to the voiceover (if available).

Can I view extra handouts during the presentation?

Yes, simply select 'Handouts' in the presentation window and you can view printable handouts in PDF format.

What happens when I complete the training unit?

When you have finished reading the last slide, click the 'finish' button. You will be told 'You have read this module, please wait till the page loads' and the window will close. You will then be taken to a Congratulations page with options to sit the assessment, or go back to the unit objective.

All progress is saved, meaning that you can take the assessment at any date after reading through the unit. Leave it for another day if you prefer.

What are the assessments like?

The assessment consists of around ten multiple-choice questions. You must get full-marks in order to pass. But rest assured, all the answers are within the unit slideshow.

How will I know if I passed the unit?

The training package will tell you your score. If you get the full marks as required you will be notified and your progress saved.

How do I know if I have read / passed a unit before?

Within 'my Profile' you can see at a glance by checking the icon associated with it:

How do I monitor my progress in the training?

As you complete a unit and assessment, a percentage figure will appear on the 'my Profile' page. You can also see the status of the units by their icon (see above FAQ)

What are the 'Tools'?

The 'Tools' are handy mini-programs, or widgets that you can use to help your day-to-day life, including (but not limited to);

  • Spread Rates
  • Interactive Coating Breakdown Charts
  • Conversions and Calculators
  • Videos and Animations

Should I complete the units in order?

Preferably yes, however you can complete them in any order you require.

How long does it take to complete all units?

As long as is required. It is worth remembering that everything you need to know is tested and marked.

Can I review completed units?

Of course. You can re-read any of the units, and resit the tests (without saving) to see how you do.

Is the Health & Safety content relevant to my country?

The Health and Safety section relates to UK Regulations, which are considered to be amongst the most stringent. You may find Regulation differ from Country to Country
