The LMS Application became unresponsive at 3:15pm Eastern, on Monday 11.26.18. Just before 5pm Eastern the team was able to restore the functionality to normal. Teams were swarming the issue from the moment it occurred and will continue to monitor it as always.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience this issue has caused and are acutely aware how vital this system is to run optimally at all times.

Thank you greatly for your patience as we work to resolve the problem.

Important Information about the Legacy Test Generator
Over the past several months we have had numerous programs notify the electrical training ALLIANCE about issues that they were having with the legacy test generator. The primary issue was the inability to generate both a student version of the test and an answer key at the same time.

LMS Response Times Slowed for Some Users
On Wednesday, October 24th, from 9:35pm to 10:08pm Eastern, the LMS system showed increased response times which caused pages to display much slower than normal for some users. Our monitors sensed the increase and the teams immediately went to work to identify the issue. We are very sorry for the issues this may have caused.
