This article shows you how to start a new pathway or pick up where you left off. ### **Steps to start or continue a pathway** 1. Go to Training. Select Training from the left-side menu. 2. **Find your pathway** Scroll to "Your pathways." You'll see one or more pathway cards showing your current status and an action button ![](https://support.safepathways.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screenshot%202026-04-29%20at%203_20_55%20PM-1.png?width=613&height=198&name=Screenshot%202026-04-29%20at%203_20_55%20PM-1.png) 3. **Start or continue** If the button says "Start Here", select it to begin. If it says "Continue", select it to resume where you left off. 4. **Work through the lessons** Each pathway is made up of short video lessons, typically 2-4 minutes each. Watch the videos, then answer the quiz questions that follow. 5. **Check your progress**. Return to Training at any time to see your updated status. When you finish, the card changes to "Completed" and your certificate appears in the Certificates section. ### **How the quiz works** The quiz requires 100% to pass, but if you get a question wrong, the platform links you back to the video section that covers that topic. Watch it again, then try the question once more. 💡 **Annual renewals are easier** When your training comes up for renewal, you can jump straight to the quiz. You'll only need to review the parts you've forgotten. ### **Frequently asked questions** > ***How long does a pathway take?*** Most pathways take under 20 minutes. The intro pathway takes about 10 minutes. > ***Can I pause and come back later?*** Yes. Your progress is saved. Select "Continue" when you return and you'll pick up where you left off. > ***I completed everything but my status still says "In Progress."*** Refresh the page. If it persists after a minute or two, try signing out and back in. - [For Volunteers](https://support.safepathways.com/for-volunteers?hsLang=en-ca#main-content) - [Getting started](https://support.safepathways.com/for-volunteers?hsLang=en-ca#getting-started) - [Your training](https://support.safepathways.com/for-volunteers?hsLang=en-ca#your-training) - [Policies and references](https://support.safepathways.com/for-volunteers?hsLang=en-ca#policies-and-references) - [Your screening status](https://support.safepathways.com/for-volunteers?hsLang=en-ca#your-screening-status) - [Trouble signing in](https://support.safepathways.com/for-volunteers?hsLang=en-ca#trouble-signing-in) - [For Church Administrators](https://support.safepathways.com/for-church-administrators?hsLang=en-ca#main-content) - [Set up your church](https://support.safepathways.com/for-church-administrators?hsLang=en-ca#set-up-your-church) - [Connect your systems](https://support.safepathways.com/for-church-administrators?hsLang=en-ca#connect-your-systems) - [Add and manage people](https://support.safepathways.com/for-church-administrators?hsLang=en-ca#add-and-manage-people) - [Screening and Police Checks](https://support.safepathways.com/for-church-administrators?hsLang=en-ca#screening-and-police-checks) - [Policies](https://support.safepathways.com/for-church-administrators?hsLang=en-ca#policies) - [Audit Report](https://support.safepathways.com/for-church-administrators?hsLang=en-ca#audit-report) - [Billing and account](https://support.safepathways.com/for-church-administrators?hsLang=en-ca#billing-and-account) - [Help and troubleshooting](https://support.safepathways.com/for-church-administrators?hsLang=en-ca#help-and-troubleshooting) - [Watch Party](https://support.safepathways.com/for-church-administrators?hsLang=en-ca#watch-party) - [About Safe Pathways](https://support.safepathways.com/about-safe-pathways?hsLang=en-ca) - [FAQs](https://support.safepathways.com/faqs?hsLang=en-ca) [![SP FULL all white@2x](https://support.safepathways.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SP%20FULL%20all%20white@2x.png?width=300&height=43&name=SP%20FULL%20all%20white@2x.png "SP FULL all white@2x")](https://safepathways.com/) Protection You Can Prove™ © 2026 Safe Pathways Canada Inc.
