To perform tasks within the system, you should understand the user interface (UI). No matter your role within the system, its' features and their functionality remain the same. Understanding how the UI relates to these will help you perform your tasks.

System setup and features available vary by program and configuration. 

To help users familiarize themselves with the system, Pearson provides a training (non-operational) site. The training site has a brown UI and uses sample data. Otherwise, its an exact mirror of the production environment, and you can use the same login credentials as you do on the operational site.
