Trouble logging in? If you have clicked launch on an online module, but are unable to proceed past the Loading title. One moment please screen, it is likely that your pop-up blocker is the problem. Here’s how to disable your pop-up blocker for the Foundations for Fund Directors website:

• Scroll down the screen to general, and tap the radio button to turn off the block pop-ups (If you’re using an older operating system, you won’t see a radio button—just turn off block pop-ups.)

Navigation Instructions

Proceeding to the Next Screen in a Module

The first time you work through a module, you’ll need to click on each item on the screen before you can proceed to the next screen. This includes any Did You Know? icons in the lower left corner of the screen. Once you’ve completed a module, it will “unlock,” enabling you to proceed from screen to screen without clicking on each item.

Navigating Between Modules

Once you complete a module and are ready to proceed to the next one, click the exit link in the upper right corner of the screen to close the completed module and return to the home page. There, you will see the other module(s) listed in a box labeled your learning path. Click on another module to launch it.

Returning to an Incomplete Module

You can always take a break during a module and come back to it later. If you idle in a module for more than an hour, it will time out. If you close the module by clicking the exit link in the upper right corner of the screen, you can relaunch it from the home page the next time you log in, with the option to return to the last page you viewed. The module will be listed as in progress in the box labeled your learning path.

Returning to a Completed Module

Once you complete a module, it will no longer be listed on the home page. To view a completed module, hover your cursor over the browse for training tab and click on it to see a list of all the modules. Click on the name of the module you wish to return to and then click the launch button.

Returning to the Home Page

To return to the home page from any other screen on the Foundations for Fund Directors website, hover your cursor over the home tab and click welcome.
