I don't think I've ever completed a training course on time, only after getting "urgent: 7 days to complete". I've got severe ADHD so these types of assessments are near impossible due to the slow dialogue and forced wait time. Though most of these courses give you multiple (or unlimited) attempts, so I'll screenshot each slide + wrong answers and brute force until I'm done. At least I can get other stuff done in the meantime.

What I do instead is attempt to reverse engineer what JavaScript function I need to call or web request is needed to make it think I competed the test/videos. A common easy way is to just re-enable the “next” button. Even if it takes me longer than just doing legitimately, I find it more educational.

  That's probably a bad idea from a legal point of view.

    The approach of trying to know what exactly the user does in their browser on their own computer and from that information to conclude whether something in front of the computer happened (the learning) is nonsensical at best and crime at worst (when done without consent or secretly). Allow the user to give deliberate signals by marking parts as done and if necessary analyze the datetimes of those signals.

      But the OP is talking about training their work assigned them. Which is presumably done on company hardware. You have no expectation of privacy on company hardware, they are allowed to do anything they want to do with the signal you provide them...

        What expectations I have, is my own business. I definitely don't agree with being mistreated by an employer and it would probably make me look for another job, if an employer did that kind of thing.

        'Expectation of privacy' is a legal term. It doesn't have much to do with your personal expectations. In any case, what I meant is that actively lying and deceiving about whether you did the compliance training (or any other employer ordered training) can probably get you into hot water.

  I was annoyed when a government security training exercise ranked "send the data using a trusted courier" as more secure than encrypting the data, and marked my answer incorrect. My manager was impressed when I scored 110%.
