Procertas - Technology Training and Assessment for Lawyers: Tips for Using Procertas

Procertas

Getting into Procertas

All Pitt Law students, faculty, staff and alumni may have a Procertas account and should receive Procertas credentials to log in to the system. The Procertas lessons are at https://learn.procertas.com/.

When you're logged into the Procertas system, you will see your "Modules List", which contains all of the lessons you can access.  At the top of the Modules List you should have access to the Procertas "Tutorial" module that introduces you to using Procertas.

When you are ready to start the lessons, keep in mind how they are structured:

"Trainer" modules are for teaching you the steps for completing these tasks.  Each trainer module lesson has a "Teach Me" button that shows a video of the task being completed.  Once you feel comfortable with the steps, download the lesson file, make the required changes to it, save the modified file, and upload it back to Procertas. The system will tell you whether you have made the changes correctly.

"Assessment" modules are more rigorous, and will not give you any assistance. In order to qualify for a digital assessment badge, you will need to complete the same tasks you did in the trainer module accurately, within a set time, and without any videos to help.  You can go straight to the assessment modules if you feel confident in your skills, but the trainer modules will prepare you if you are unfamiliar with how to complete these tasks.
