Problem
On occasion, a teacher, student, or other CertMaster user is unable to download certificates for one of the TestOut Pro Certification Exams.
Solution
Certificates are generated in PDF format. Within each browser, these PDFs will be generated as a pop-up within a new tab. Therefore, most of the time the issue is resolved by allowing popups within your respective browser. The below information will attempt to address allowing pop-ups within each of the three browsers on which CertMaster is supported (See the list of supported browsers for your specific CertMaster course listed under your My Products list)
- Google Chrome - If pop-ups are blocked within Chrome, when you click the Download link (with CertMaster ) towards the upper right corner of the browser you will see a "Pop-up Blocked" message. This message has a red X icon next to it. If you click this X, a menu will appear from which you will be able to select an "Always allow pop-ups from labsim.testout.com" option. As a result of pop-ups being allowed, PDF certificates can be generated.
- Internet Explorer (IE) - If pop-ups are blocked within IE, when you click the Download link (within CertMaster ) you will receive the following notification: "Internet Explorer blocked a pop-up from cdn.testout.com." The Notification Bar will allow you to choose 'Allow Once' or, within 'Options for this site you can choose 'Always allow' to always allow pop-ups to be allowed from cdn.testout.com. As a result of pop-ups being allowed, PDF certificates can be generated.
While related pop-up messages within your specific browser may differ from the above, the general feature functionality of allowing pop-ups from *.testout.com should function the same within any browser version.
