This Foundation Access Package holds 2 types of products which are accessible under "Package Contents":

- Program(s) (courses), which hold the individual course content (SCORMs, PDFs, quizzes, individual course certificates)
- Exam(s), which hold an acknowledgment component, the exam itself and a congratulatory message displayed upon passing


You must complete a program before accessing its corresponding exam. You do this by passing the individual course quizzes within the program. Note that when the program has been completed, you may continue to use its contents to review for your exam.

You will need to activate the exam product from within the package after completing the program quizzes. An "activate" button will be present on the exam product under "Package Contents". But you may only activate it while your package access is still active.

Following exam activation, you will need to accept the terms/acknowledgment component before making your attempt. This will grant an additional 60 days to take the exam.
