What devices can I use to access the training courses?2025-12-30T17:18:38-05:00

Our training platform works on virtually any device with an internet connection and a modern web browser. Your employees can train wherever and however is most convenient for them.

âś“ Desktop & Laptop Computers

  • Windows PC (Windows 10 or newer)
  • Mac (macOS 10.13 or newer)
  • Chromebook
  • Linux systems

âś“ Tablets

  • iPad (iOS 12 or newer)
  • Android tablets (Android 8.0 or newer)
  • Microsoft Surface and other Windows tablets

What you need:

  • Internet connection (WiFi or cellular data)
  • Modern web browser (updated within the last 2 years)
  • That’s it! No downloads, apps, or special software required

Screen size recommendation: While our platform works on any screen size, we recommend a minimum screen size of 7 inches (tablet-sized) for the best learning experience. Courses are readable on smartphones, but larger screens provide a more comfortable viewing experience.

What about older devices? As long as your device can run a current web browser, it should work fine. We recommend updating to the latest browser version for the best experience and security.

Switch devices mid-course? No problem! Start a course on your desktop at work, continue on your tablet at home, and finish on your phone during your commute. Progress is saved automatically and syncs across all devices.

Is the platform mobile-friendly?2025-12-30T17:17:07-05:00

Is the platform mobile-friendly?

Absolutely! Our platform is fully optimized for mobile devices.

We designed our training platform with mobile users in mind from day one. Whether your employees are using smartphones or tablets, they get a complete, seamless training experience.

What “mobile-friendly” means for our platform:

âś“ Responsive Design The interface automatically adapts to any screen size – from small smartphones to large tablets. Content is readable, buttons are tappable, and navigation is intuitive on every device.

âś“ Touch-Optimized Every element is designed for touch interaction. No tiny buttons or links that are impossible to tap on a phone screen.

âś“ Fast Loading Optimized for mobile networks so courses load quickly even on cellular data, not just WiFi.

âś“ Works in Mobile Browsers No app download needed – works perfectly in Safari, Chrome, or any mobile browser.

âś“ Portrait or Landscape Automatically adjusts whether you hold your phone vertically or horizontally.

âś“ Full Functionality Everything employees can do on a desktop, they can do on mobile:

  • Take courses and watch videos
  • Complete quizzes and assessments
  • Earn and download certificates
  • Track their progress
  • Access their training history

Administrator mobile access too: Managers and administrators can also use mobile devices to:

  • Enroll employees
  • Assign courses
  • Check completion status
  • View reports
  • Manage accounts

Why this matters:

Many employees prefer training on mobile devices because they can:

  • Train during commutes or breaks
  • Complete courses from home on their couch
  • Fit training into their schedule more easily
  • Use devices they’re already comfortable with

The result? Higher completion rates and less resistance to training.

No compromise on quality: Mobile-friendly doesn’t mean “limited version.” Your employees get the full training experience with the same engaging content, just optimized for smaller screens.

What happens if I lose my internet connection during a course?2025-12-30T17:16:38-05:00

Don’t worry – your progress is automatically saved, and you won’t lose your work.

Here’s exactly what happens:

1. Automatic Progress Saving Our platform saves your progress continuously as you move through a course. If your internet connection drops:

  • Everything you completed before the disconnection is saved
  • You won’t have to start the course over
  • Your quiz answers are preserved
  • Video progress is recorded

2. When You Reconnect Simply log back in and click “Resume Course.” You’ll pick up right where you left off – on the same page, section, or video you were viewing.

3. No Lost Time You don’t lose credit for the time you spent training. If you completed 15 minutes of a 30-minute course before losing connection, those 15 minutes are saved.

How often does it save? Progress is saved automatically:

  • After completing each page or section
  • After answering each quiz question
  • Every few minutes during video playback
  • Whenever you navigate to a new screen

What if I’m in the middle of a quiz?

  • Already-answered questions are saved
  • You’ll resume with the next unanswered question
  • No need to re-answer what you already completed

What if I’m watching a video?

  • Video progress is saved at regular intervals
  • You’ll resume from the last saved checkpoint (typically within 30-60 seconds of where you were)
  • You won’t have to rewatch the entire video

Best practices to avoid issues: âś“ Use a stable WiFi connection when possible âś“ If on cellular data, ensure good signal strength âś“ Don’t close your browser tab during a quiz âś“ Wait for the “Progress Saved” indicator before closing

Connection drops frequently? If you have an unstable internet connection:

  • Complete courses in shorter sessions
  • Take breaks between sections to ensure progress is saved
  • Use WiFi instead of cellular data when available
  • Download any course materials ahead of time if available

The bottom line: Losing your connection is an inconvenience, not a disaster. Your work is saved, and you can continue right where you stopped.

Do I really need to take compliance training?2026-01-02T11:47:20-05:00

Yes—compliance training is not optional for most employees. Whether you need specific compliance training depends on three factors: federal regulations that apply to your role, state laws where you work, and your employer’s industry.

Federally Mandated Compliance Training:

Many compliance training requirements come from federal agencies and apply to all U.S. employers:

  • OSHA Safety Training: Required for all employees exposed to workplace hazards. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration mandates specific training for topics like hazard communication, bloodborne pathogens, personal protective equipment, and emergency procedures. Frequency: Annual or when job duties change.
  • HIPAA Training for Healthcare Workers: Required for all employees at hospitals, medical practices, health insurance companies, and business associates who handle protected health information (PHI). Frequency: At hire and annually thereafter.
  • Anti-Harassment Training: While not federally mandated nationwide, the EEOC strongly recommends harassment prevention training as a best practice for all employers. Frequency: Every 1-2 years.

State-Mandated Compliance Training:

Many states have additional requirements beyond federal law:

  • California: Requires harassment prevention training for all employers with 5+ employees
  • New York: Requires annual harassment training for all employees
  • Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine: Each have specific harassment training mandates
  • State-specific OSHA plans: Some states have additional safety training requirements

Industry-Specific Compliance Training:

Certain industries face additional regulatory requirements:

  • Healthcare: HIPAA, OSHA bloodborne pathogens, infection control, patient rights
  • Construction: OSHA construction standards, fall protection, scaffolding safety
  • Manufacturing: Machine guarding, lockout/tagout, hazardous materials
  • Financial Services: Anti-money laundering, data security, privacy regulations
  • Education: FERPA training for student record privacy

Legal Consequences of Skipping Required Training:

Failing to complete mandatory compliance training creates serious risks:

  • Your employer faces OSHA penalties up to $156,259 per willful violation
  • HIPAA violations can cost your organization $100 to $50,000+ per incident
  • You personally may face disciplinary action or termination
  • In serious cases, you could be held personally liable for violations
  • Your employer’s defense against lawsuits may be compromised without proof of training

Why Even “Optional” Training Matters:

Some compliance training isn’t legally required but is critical for workplace safety and your career protection. Evolve recommends completing all assigned training because:

  • It protects you from unknowingly violating policies
  • It documents your good-faith effort to follow rules
  • It gives you knowledge to recognize and report problems
  • It demonstrates professionalism and accountability

Evolve’s compliance training platform clearly labels which courses are legally required vs. recommended for your role, state, and industry. Our compliance specialists can also help your organization conduct a training needs assessment to identify exactly which compliance training programs your workforce needs.

What are the penalties for non-compliance?2026-01-02T11:06:30-05:00

The consequences of non-compliance can be severe and include:

Financial penalties:

  • OSHA violations: $15,625 per violation (up to $156,259 for willful violations)
  • HIPAA violations: $100 to $50,000+ per violation, with annual maximums of $1.5 million
  • State harassment law violations: Varies, but can reach hundreds of thousands in settlements

Operational impacts:

  • Legal fees and settlement costs

  • Work stoppages during investigations
  • Damage to reputation and employer brand
  • Difficulty recruiting and retaining talent

Personal liability:

  • Individual managers can face criminal charges
  • Board members may face shareholder lawsuits
