Percipio Frequently Asked Questions

Will my training records be migrated to Skillsoft Percipio?

Percipio Platform status: As of October 10, 2022, historical completions have been imported to Skillsoft Percipio learner accounts. To access activity and print certificates of completion:

I received an error message when attempting to launch a course, or the course won’t load and shows a buffering screen what should I do?

Below are common causes for course errors and buffering screens:

• Courses are published to be completed in one sitting. Starting a course and resuming even two hours later will affect progress. The course will not allow you to resume from where you left off, and instead start from the beginning again. Employees should anticipate finishing the course in one sitting
• Your web browser is outdated. You must use the current version or one version prior
• Using an unsupported browser like Microsoft Edge. Use Mozilla Firefox , Chrome, or Safari if you are a Mac user
• Moving through the course too quickly. Clicking through slides too quickly before the content has had time to play through will cause a course to glitch and affect your progress
• Autoplay is not enabled. Follow Allow autoplay instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay

Please include screenshots whenever you encounter an error so we may troubleshoot the issue accordingly.
