Your web cache may need to be cleared. Depending on your browser, there are either three dots on the upper right-hand corner of your browser or three lines. Click on these and then choose Settings.

When you get to the settings tab, click on Privacy and Security on Chrome (Privacy and Search on Edge):

Click on Clear Browsing Data.

Uncheck Cookies and other site data. If your browser gives you a choice for a time range, choose “All time.” Click on the “Clear Data” button. This should fix the issue. The screenshots are from Google Chrome, but Microsoft Edge is the same and Firefox is pretty close to this as well.

If clearing the web cache doesn’t work, try using a different browser or a different computer. If nothing above works, contact us at 501-570-8000 or [email protected].

We will report completion of the course to ACLEST. The classes are processed once the class closes with the standard operating time to add information to ACADIS being 10 days post class. This usually happens sooner than that.
