We are excited for the journey you are embarking on using the
CPI and learning system. This system offers an adaptive
learning experience that prioritizes your knowledge gaps
to optimize the study experience and provide the most efficient
path to certification. When you first log in, you will be taken

anchored at the top of the menu and is designed to help you
complete your studies in the most efficient way possible by
populating content that matches your current knowledge gaps.
