DOI Employees - Logon to DOI LEARN for the First Time

Here are directions for DOI employees to follow after creating an account in DOI Learn.

Open Internet Explorer and go to https://doilearn.doi.gov. In the logon dialog box, the default setting for "Turn on 508 Compliance?" is No. Users with visual or other impairments may select Yes to use the 508 compliant version of DOI LEARN. (To learn more about 508 compliance and web accessibility, visit http://www.section508.gov.)
Logon with your pre-set User Name and Password. Your pre-set User Name will consist of your first initial, the first four characters of your last name, and your birth date in a MMDDYYYY format. For example: James Smith whose birthday is October 31, 1955 would use the following User Name: jsmit10311955 (The User Name is not case sensitive).
Your pre-set password (first time logon only) is: !ChangeIT! (The password is case sensitive)
Create a New Username.
- Your New Username must be unique because there are over 80,000 accounts in DOI LEARN.
- The system will not allow you to reuse the pre-set User Name that you used to log on, or create a New Username that contains blank spaces or non-alphanumeric characters (e.g., @, !, _).
Enter your correct internet e-mail address.
In the Supervisor's Last Name box, type in your supervisor's last name only and click Go. After the screen refreshes, click inside the Training Approval Official box, scroll down and select your supervisor.
Create and confirm a new strong password (at least 8 characters; contains one special character [e.g., @ # $ %]; contains one number).
Click the Log On button, read the Rules of Behavior, then click Accept Rules.
If you are presented with a Security Alert dialog box, click Yes to move on.

Once you are logged into DOI Learn, search the course catalog for "Nationwide Programmatic Agreement Toolkit." Once the course title appears, click on it. You will be shown the description of the course and related information. Next, click "Register."

Taking the Final Assessment

Once you have a user name and password in DOI Learn and have registered for the course, and have read through the guidance of the PA Toolkit website, follow the prompts to take the final assessment. It is a series of 20 questions. As you proceed through the questions, you will be told if you have answered each question correctly or not. You need to answer 16 or 80% of the questions correctly to earn the certificate. If you do not score 80% the first time, you can take the final assessment over again.
