This article quickly guides you to your training session.

Log-in

Using your email

If your training administrator has told you to check your email for a welcome message from Atlas, you will be using your email address and a password to log in to the iHasco Learning Management System (LMS).

Note: If you haven’t received the welcome email, check your spam folder before telling your training administrator. Emails usually come from do-not-reply@citation.co.uk.

Follow the instructions in the message to create your password and log in to the LMS

Using a username and password
If your training administrator has given you a URL, username, and temporary password:

Enter the URL into a browser search bar to show the Atlas log-in page.
Enter your username and password
You will be asked to enter and confirm a new password. Follow the handy password rules displayed on the page and click Reset Password.
Scroll down to read and accept the terms and conditions, then click Continue to log in to the LMS.
