Video Tutorials

We have provided a set of video tutorials for UEBOnline to assist you in getting started and completing the training programs and competency exams. These tutorials are divided into two parts. 

The first set of videos are topic based videos which describe how to complete a task within UEBOnline.

The second set of videos focus on specific problems we have seen users encounter in UEBOnline and they are targeted to help you when you encounter that issue and are called the ‘Did someone say Help!’ videos.

To view any of the videos simply click on the video title link and it will be launched in a pop up on the screen and will autoplay if you are viewing it on a desktop computer. If you are viewing the video on a mobile device you will need to press Play to start the video.
