Hi @kwifo.mikhaela21 and welcome to our community!
I moved your message to this existing one. I read the first message of this thread and I see you are most possibly right. The course is being updated at the moment: this is why you cannot access it.
I hope this problem will be solved soon.
In the meantime have a nice day and thank you for your support!

Hi @marumbomkandawire

Firstly, welcome to the community

I’m not sure when the new course will be available, but we’ll definitely announce it to our TWB community. So keep an eye out

Hello, I’m a novice here, I have completed the Course: Introduction to Humanitarian Translation for Kató Translators. But I don’t have the checkmarks, I took them again them but nothing has changed, my last score for the test was 75%. You guys that have more experience than me, please, What you recommend to do?

[faretto5]

Hi @saraenriquez240,
thank you for reaching out and welcome to our community! You need to get 100% score to pass the test and get the final certificate. If you don’t get it the first time, you should try it again until you pass it.
I hope this helps.

[saraenriquez240]

My concern is since I saw the results, I have been trying to correct my answers to get 100%score, I have updated my answers several times but the system still marks 75%
Any suggestions are highly appreciated, please. Thanks for your reply.

[faretto5]

Dear Sara,
I’m just tagging our kind @charlotte1 who will probably reply tomorrow.
I hope this helps.

Hi @saraenriquez240

I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues with the course

I think the problem is that you’re not enrolled in the course! You must follow step 2 in the instructions above:

2. Enrol in the course:

Once your account is activated, you will be able to enroll in the course. Just go to the course’s main page, click on the clog symbol, and then on “enrol me in this course”.
Please note that if you do not enrol, the platform will not let you take the final quiz and you won’t obtain the certificate.

Let me know if this sorts it out or if you have any other questions

Thanks @faretto5 for pinning me

Hello @ClaudiaM! I have made an account but I cannot find the clog button to enroll…the only button I see is the one that says “Take the Course”… is the Enroll button on that site too?

thanks!

[charlotte1]

Hi @marcediana

Firstly, welcome to the TWB Community

Sorry to hear you were having difficulties accessing the cog button. I’ve just manually enrolled you in the course!

I hope you find the course interesting

Hi, @charlotte1!

Sorry, I don’t know if anyone has experienced this before: the “take the test” button of the “Introduction to Humanitarian Translation” just takes me to the homepage, even though I have already gone through the course and answered each partial reflection, so I cannot actually finish the course. Would you kindly advise on what to do next, please?

Many thanks in advance

[charlotte1]

Hi @Sergio_TL94

Firstly, welcome to the TWB community

I’m sorry to hear you’re having difficulties taking the test. When it takes you back to the homepage and you scroll down, you should be able to access the test underneath the “Test Yourself” heading!

Let me know if you cannot access the test via that link

[Sergio_TL94]

Hi again, @charlotte1

Thank you for the welcome!

I’m afraid the link doesn’t work for me. This is what appears on my screen: “Restricted Not available unless: The activity Introduction to Humanitarian Translation for the TWB Community! is marked complete”.

Best regards,

Sergio.

Hi @Sergio_TL94

Hmm thanks for double-checking on that!

I’m pinning @ClaudiaM who may be able to assist further with this
