The electrical training ALLIANCE is proud to announce the latest interactive animation on the subject of “Box Layout”.

Yesterday from 5:51pm to 6:06pm (all times eastern) the LMS was not responsive to users. The system began to show increased response times at 5:47pm. The response times increased rapidly from under 100mS to 649mS. At 5:48pm we recorded response times above 4,000 mS. At 5:51pm the system was shut down. We rebooted two of the many systems that support the overall LMS and at 6:06pm response times returned and have been maintained at just under 100 mS. Read on for some insights into how we know about and keep track of the system. (more…)
There was an issue with the LMS communication system today whereby our testing server generated notifications of certifications for a few of our internal testing users that were then sent to only those users who are Instructors. The notification email should not have been sent out. Please disregard the email notifications pertaining to the “Introduction to Preplanning Certificate”. We apologize for the error and the interruption.
