Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find the test request form, participant form, or the link to my Smartsheet? |
All 3 links can be found in the email you received from CHEST@ahe.org. |
I just finished training my first class, when can I start testing? |
You must complete your test request form 7 business days prior to your exam. |
When should I have my participants complete their participant forms? |
We recommend you do this on the first day of your class, although it must be done at least 5 days prior to the exam date. |
Why aren't my participants showing up on my Smartsheet? |
Participants will not show up on your facility's Smartsheet until after they complete the participant form. |
My participant completed the participant form, but they are still not able to log in. |
After completing the participant form, participants will receive 2 emails. Please be sure to read both carefully and follow the prompts to register their account. These steps are required before a participant can log in. |
When and where will I receive my test codes? |
Test codes are uploaded to your facility's Smartsheet 2 days prior to your test date. |
Why isn't my test code working? |
Test codes are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as they appear on the Smartsheet. Also, test codes can only be used one time. If someone is re-testing, a test request form and participant form must be completed again. |
My certificate hasn't arrived/certificate arrived by has incorrect information. |
Email us at CHEST@aha.org. Please note: certificates may take 3-5 weeks after your test completion to arrive. |
