Checkpoint 1

Choose the curriculum that fits your pathway

Open the professional curriculum or laboratory crew curriculum according to the contribution you are preparing to make. Read the module material, complete its learning activity, and use the knowledge check to identify areas for further review. Return to the relevant explanation when a question reveals a gap. Connect the topic with one of the learning goals recorded in your member profile.

  • Professional curriculum supports individual professional collaboration.
  • Laboratory crew curriculum supports the shared practices of a participating group.
  • Mentoring guidance and the research cycle support discussion and application.

Checkpoint 2

Confirm the saved learning record

Follow the sign-in guidance on the learning page so attempts can be associated with your account. Completion is recorded after the server accepts the attempt. Open My onboarding to review the module title, best score, and passed or continuing-learning state. If an attempt produces a saving error, retain the visible information, follow the recovery guidance, and confirm the recorded result before treating the module as complete.

Checkpoint 3

Connect learning with project readiness

Read the assignment purpose, stages, deliverables, and readiness requirements. Confirm the expected scope, supervisor or reviewer, evidence location, and review point before beginning work. Introductory preparation can use public or synthetic materials within the approved training setting. Live project participation follows the applicable role, training, agreement, access, and project approvals. Record questions for the steward and use the seven-day research cycle to organize the next agreed contribution.
