Quick Start Guide — 6 Things You Need to Know
- VES Class documents will appear in a separate window or be downloaded as a PDF to your download folder. Downloaded documents must be retrieved from your device’s download folder. This location will vary according to the type of device and/or browser that you are using.

.
- Each VES Class should be completed like reading a book. Start with the upper-left section on the page and go from the top component to the bottom component in that section. After completing that section, proceed to the next section to its immediate right.

.
- Components in the "Primary Presentation" section contain the video, test, benefits, credits and certificate. These components should be completed sequentially from the top to the bottom, as lower level components will only be unlocked after completion of the components above it. For instance, you must view at least 90% of a presentation video before you can open the class test.
- All the areas in a VES Class, including the presentation videos, will retain your progress. You do not have to finish an area or class in one session.
- Presentation videos are provided in an interactive (SCORM) format for more effective learning. Because the videos are interactive, you may have to bypass a pop-up blocker message before the video will start.

- This VES Class references specific AAII Active Investing tools. To utilize these tools you will need to download the tools to an investment platform like TradeStation or MetaStock that supports them. To learn more about how to access these tools and the platforms that support them go to www.aaii.com/aitools.
