How long do I have access for?

Once you have logged in, the validity of your access is displayed in the lower right corner of your screen.
Access is on an individual basis, and is valid for one year from the date of issue.

You will receive an email about your Access Key validity prior to expiry.

When I start a chapter/learning content, nothing happens

Pop-ups may be disabled. Ensure that pop-ups are allowed.

Allowing pop-ups

Because some of the content within the Tecan Academy opens in an additional window, pop-ups need to be allowed for this website (http://academy.tecan.com/).
If you cannot start content, or other functions are not working correctly, please verify that you have allowed pop-ups. Please refer to your browsers documentation on how to allow pop-ups for a specific site.

Videos included in the chapters are not appearing. What are the most likely reasons for this?

Slow internet connection – longer waiting time is needed.

Where can I find my certificate?

If you passed the certification test, an email is sent out immediately with the certificate attached.
In addition, you can access your certificate from the Tecan Academy. In the ‘My profile’ menu, click on Show certificates and the pdfs are available for download.



back



What is the validity of my certificate?

Tecan recommends a re-certification period of two years. Individual laboratories’ internal regulations need to specify the length of time for which training is valid.
Note that the certificate is only stored in your personal account. Please make sure to store or print the certificate for your records.
