I am having trouble in my Trainer Portal or signing into my Trainer Portal. What is wrong?

There could be a number of reasons.

  • The portal cannot be accessed on a device only on a computer.
  • Make sure you are using either Google Chrome or Safari as your web browser.
  • It is possible that the portal is just slow for the moment and if you just wait a bit the issue will be resolved.

Is there a minimum length of time you must stay at Intern level/role? At Associate? At Professional?

There is not a minimum time requirement for each level/role. As long as you meet the requirements and your mentor agrees that you are ready to apply to the next level/role you may do so on your Trainer Portal.
