Has anyone done the online CAP Basic Safety Course (For Tech rating)?  http://level2.cap.gov/visitors/programs/safety/basic_safety_course/
This replaces the old AFIADL correspondence course.  I was able to download the powerpoint, but at the end of the course where it has a link to the test, I got an error message saying that a seciroty problem had occurred and nothing else.  I did try just opening up the presentation directly off the web, but got nothing to open up. 

Anyone else had any experience with this?

^ Yep, I did it, you need to view the presentation in presentation format.  Then click on the hyperlink.  If that doesn't work, press control then click.

Good luck.

Many of the web pages in the testing section of the national website will produce a security alert warning on many computers.

Open Office will read Power Point.

I highly recommend openoffice for all your office suite needs....

'cept it won't run SIMS.

NOT to put down SIMS... I love it... but I don't believe its the fault of the openoffice.org development team.

If SIMS was made to open/real standards... not the so called standard we call Microsoft, it would work...

No, not interested in the MS VS OO debate at this time, and again I have nothing against SIMS. Squadron computers all have MS office on them, or should!?

My recommendation, seeing how she is obviously not running SIMS on the computer in question, is that she downloads the FREE and Open Source, Openoffice suite that actually adheres to international standards.

"obviously" is used considering she PROBABLY is not running a system with MS access while lacking power point.

Just took the test and discovered a couple of things...

First, I didn't know you could edit / view a .PPS file just like any other .PPT file by dragging it into a blank Powerpoint window - very handy.

Second, there is at least one question on the test that is a typo, and I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed yet.
It references a non-existent publication, which is fine - a standard test "gotcha", but the other answers are all wrong as well,
so I chose the answer with the non-existent publication and it was graded "right".

Otherwise, no big deal.
