How to Create An Online Learning Account

We recommend that you print out a copy of these instructions so that you can refer to them later on.

To print this page, either press the CTRL and P keys simultaneously or use the Print option from within the File menu of your web browser.

When you enter the Online Learning System, you will be presented with a login screen. We suggest you add this page to your Favorites or Bookmarks now as you'll be using it a lot in the future.

Starting a course with Train 200's Online Learning System is a THREE step process. Completing your registration form was simply the FIRST of these THREE steps. We will now guide you through the other two steps.

Step 1: Registering with Train 2000

If you have not yet completed a registration form, you will need to do so before you can proceed any further.

Step 2: Creating an Online Learning Account

Select the option entitled Register in the menu bar near to top of the screen.

The next screen will ask you to provide some information in order to register an learning account.

Account Information (Required)

Login Name
We suggest that you choose a login name that is short and easy to remember and use all lowercase letters. You'll be using this login name every time you enter the Online Learning System, so make it easy to type in.
Password
Choose anything you like but again, make sure it's easy for you to remember. Letters and numbers are allowed. Punctuation or other characters (such as - ? and *) aren't. We suggest you type everything in lowercase and try to make your password about 8 letters/numbers long.
Password Again
Type your chosen password in again in exactly the same way as you typed it the first time. This re-entry reduces the chances of you misspelling your chosen password when you first register.
Email Address
Please enter a valid email address that you will be checking regularly. We will need to contact you at various points throughout the courses.

Personal Information (Optional)

You don't have to provide any personal information via the Online Learning System system other than your first and last names. If you don't want to register your date of birth or street address on the system, please don't feel obliged to.

Submitting Your Registration

When you've provided all of the Required Information and as much of the Optional Info as you wish to, select the Submit button at the bottom of the page.

You'll be told immediately if your registration has been accepted and you will be given the option to Log In to the System.

Logging In

Whenever you Log In to the system, you will have to provide your chosen Login Name and Password. If you are on your own computer (rather than one in a library or similar), you can select the box labelled Auto-Login or select Yes if your web browser asks if you want to save your password. This will cut down on your typing when you login in future.

Step 3: Selecting A Course

  1. When you have logged in, select Browse Courses from the menu bar near the top of the page. You will see 3 Course Categories listed:
    • Uncategorized
    • Business Enterprise
    • General

    Select Business Enterprise.

  2. You will now see 6 courses listed:
    1. Business Direction
    2. Market Research
    3. Marketing
    4. Financial Planning
    5. Legal Considerations & Requirements
    6. The Business Planning Jigsaw

    Select the course you wish to study. Unless you have been informed otherwise, this will probably be the Business Direction course.

  3. You will now see your chosen course listed with a brief description of the course's aim and contents. Select the name of your chosen course again.
  4. You will be told that enrolment on the course requires approval. Select Request Enrolment.
  5. That's it! As soon as your enrolment on a course has been approved, you will be notified, by an email from Train 2000 Ltd.

Please be patient. There may be a slight delay whilst your details are checked. We will be in touch as soon as possible.

What Else Can You Do?

Whilst you're waiting for your enrolment approval email, you can select Browse Courses again but, this time, select the General category. There are 2 course in this section:
  1. Welcome to Online Learning
  2. ATutor How-To course

Both of these courses contain information on how to use the Online Learning System. Neither requires enrolment and you can look through them at any time.

Starting Your Course

Once logged in, select My Courses from the menu bar. You will see your chosen course is now listed. You can begin the course by selecting its name.
