Don’t suppose you have a link do you Plt Off Prune? I presume it’s on SharePoint somewhere?
MattB - I have found that for some users (not all), after a password reset request (which goes to the OC) and logging in with the new password it requests you to change the password. I have not been able to find anywhere to change it for those that do not get this or simply wish to “manually”.
I’ve also found Ultilearn is “flaky” with Internet Explorer 11 and sometimes with Chrome - to the point where a Cadet can be halfway through an exam and it hangs or suddenly quits and the Cadet either can’t restart the exam and has to wait 7 days or start from the beginning again. The most reliable browser I have found for Ultilearn in Firefox.
I had the same thing with one of my cadets yesterday. An exam previously undertaken was absent from his ‘My Courses’ list. Nor was it in the archive, not had he deleted it.
I discovered that he was not registered for it, but was approved by me to see it. I also noticed that the name of the exam was now “topic name v2” I think that perhaps the original exam had been deleted, and the second version not replaced.

The current ACTO gives the option for Squadrons to choose whether they wish to continue using the F3521 in addition to updating SMS and completing the required forms for Cranwell graphics.
Unfortunately I guess that some Wings have chosen to enforce it.
God know’s why? The information is contained within SMS. Why make extra work for the sake of it? The blue cards no longer serve any useful purpose.

My Bold. Why not we seem to in almost every other area of the ACO :!:
There is a current “bug” with Ultilearn regarding courses going “missing” - submit a Service request and they will restore the missing courses. Source: Ken Snyder at ATF beginning of January.

Would that have been Senior/Master Piston Engine Propulsion by any chance ?
I’ve had a load of cadets get 90-odd % through this exam a couple of weeks ago, failing one or two questions. They went back into it last night to retake the failed Q’s only to find it completely missing, despite a record in SMS showing them as attempting the exam and scoring 91%. And I suspect that re-registering it means they now have to resit the whole exam (didn’t have time to try last night).
They will be seriously unhappy if that’s the case !
I’ve just answered my own question by logging in to Sharepoint and going to “Help” en-route to logging a bug - there’s a post related to this on the main page stating that some exams have been replaced by V2 versions to fix a bug, and that yes, they will have gone missing, will require re-registering and will require a full retake.
So this is the current way that we get cadets on to ultilearn on my unit.
The adj registers cadets on BADER. This creates a username and password which is emailed to the OC
The OC collates all of the individual emails and sends them to me (or I could log in to BADER and grab all of the cadet numbers individually)
I (trg off) open ultilearn and copy each cadet number into the lost password field
The OC collates all of the new individual emails and sends them to me
I copy and paste each cadet number and password into ultilearn
I copy and paste the password again
Finally the cadet can set their password
I make computer systems (databasey things) at work. If I created a system as ridiculously convoluted as the one above I would be shouted at by my boss or clients. At length. Rude words would probably be used.
I don’t change the passwords twice - entering the initially created password doesn’t bring up the change password screen. I never actually use the initially created password, I just go straight to password reminder using the login number.
I am trying to complete my leading exams but I can find where to register for them. I go to explorer register then try and click the leading cadet exam but I can’t register for it please can someone help.
