BAI Courses

When BAI retires a course, any course left over on students’ “My Dashboard” will launch to an error message. Please ensure all training is complete, and remove or replace these courses in your rules before retirement dates occur.  A full list of retirements and recommended replacements from 2023 can be found HERE.  Learn more by accessing our Retirements FAQ.

Attributes in the BAI catalog include a thoroughly vetted list of fields, hand-picked for each course and document to help students and training administrators alike filter and identify content to take or assign. These fields include: Roles, Skills, Topics, Expected Duration, Interactivity, Product Type, CE, and Notes. To filter by these fields, start by accessing our online catalog, or log into the BAI Learning Manager and click on the “course catalog” button at the top of the My Dashboard page. Then, click on the “View all results” link below the library that fits your organization. Attributes reside on the left-hand side of the page. A more thorough description of each field can be found below:

• Roles – this field is available in BAI’s compliance courseware libraries only, for all full-length courseware except game show courses, mini-courses, and BAI’s legacy courses (course codes beginning with “2”).  Selecting a role will update the results to include all compliance courseware that could be relevant to individuals in that role.
• Skills – this field is available in every library, but is most useful in BAI’s Professional Skills Library. The courses in this library are designed to sharpen users’ professional development skills, so filtering by this field makes it easy to spot direct correlations in content. Training administrators may also find this field valuable when building career paths to find all courses with similar skills.
• Topics –  this field is available in every library. Topics are perhaps the most valuable field in terms of finding the right compliance content to take or assign. Selecting a topic will display all content adequately covering that subject, even if under the umbrella of another topic.
• Expected Duration – this field is available in every library, and is most useful in the compliance and professional development courseware libraries. It can help spot BAI’s Mini-Courses (all of which are < 15 minutes), or narrow the list to show our more in-depth content.
• Interactivity – this field is available in every library. It is most useful in the compliance and professional development courseware libraries, but can assist in spotting podcasts and video for example in the Documents & Resources library.  Tip: select the “accessible” label to find courses that have been updated to our newest design template, which incorporates the accessibility features seen below:

1. 1. • Keyboard accessible including access to a list of keyboard shortcuts
      • Custom Focus Order/Tab order is used so a screen reader and keyboard will follow content in a logical order.
      • Closed captions available for videos and audio
      • Users have ability to control video and audio (does not auto-play)
      • Color of text follows WCAG 2.1 AA contrast standards (4.5:1)
      • Zoom settings for the slide (not just the player)
      • Accessible text which uses HTML and allows users to use custom stylesheets or browser extensions to change how the text displays.
      • Use of alternate text for images that are not decorative.

• Product Type / Content Type – these fields are available in every library. “Product Type” can be found in all courseware libraries and distinguishes our full-length courses from our mini-courses, while “Content Type” can be found in all document libraries and distinguishes documents and resources by file type (Excel, MP3, MP4, Other, PDF, URL, Word).
• CE – this field is available in BAI’s compliance courseware libraries only. Use this filter to search BAI courseware approved for continuing education credit.
• Notes – this field is used in BAI’s compliance libraries to highlight “popular” and “new” content.

1. 1. • New: identifies courses that have been released < 12 months (updated bi-annually).
      • Popular: identifies the top 20 courses in each library based on completion data (updated bi-annually).  Tip: type “Popular” in the catalog search bar in the Learning Manager to pull up the entire list of BAI’s popular courses, or click here to access the list in our online catalog and filter by Library on the left-hand side.
