Frequently Asked Questions
-
First time signing in? Look for an email titled "You've been invited to EnGen" and follow the link. Clicking the link in that email is how you set up your account, and how EnGen recognizes you on every future sign-in.
You only go through the invitation once. After that, you sign in normally.
Step 1: Find the invitation email
Look for an email titled "You've been invited to EnGen" or "Welcome to EnGen" from your administrator. The sender is usually noreply@engen.cloud or similar. Check your spam or promotions folder if you don't see it in your inbox.
The email contains a personalized link that's good for one use only. The link in the invitation email will auto-expire in 72 hours.
Step 2: Click the link
Open the email and click the invitation link (often labeled Accept invitation or Get started). You'll land on a welcome page in your browser titled something like "Welcome, {your name}!"
Step 3: Set your password (password-based accounts)
If your account uses email + password, you'll be asked to choose a password. Pick something memorable but secure — at least 8 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Confirm the password and click Set password & continue. You're signed in.
Step 4: Or sign in with Google (Google-linked accounts)
If your account is linked to a Google address, the welcome page shows a Continue with Google button instead of a password field. Click it, sign in to Google (or pick your account if you're already signed in), and you're done — no separate EnGen password to remember.
You're in! From now on, you can sign in directly from EnGen https://learner.engen.cloud/ — you don't need to use the invitation link again (and it won't work a second time).
-
You can access EnGen from your laptop or desktop computer by going to https://learner.engen.cloud/
Watch this video to learn how to log in to EnGen from a laptop or desktop computer.
Step 1: Start from the EnGen sign-in page
Open EnGen. You'll land on the welcome page with a Sign In button.
Step 2: Click Sign In and a window opens with the sign-in options available to you:
What you see in this window depends on what your organization has set up.
The four most common ways to sign in:
Email + password — type your email, then your password.
Continue with Google — if your account is linked to a Google email (Gmail or Google Workspace), click this button and sign in with Google.
Your work account (Single Sign-On) — if your employer uses a corporate identity system (Okta, Azure AD, OneLogin, etc.), you sign in once with your work credentials, and EnGen recognizes you automatically.
From your school's learning system (LTI) — if you access EnGen through your school's Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or similar platform, you don't sign in to EnGen directly — you click a link in your course and land in EnGen already signed in.
-
Yes! You can use EnGen on your smartphone! Watch this video to learn how to save EnGen to your cell phone home screen:
Things to note:

If you would like to change the language of your account, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Go to your EnGen homepage, and click on your profile in the top right corner of the page. Then, click on “Manage my account”:
Step 2: In the “My account” section, click on “Languages”:
Step 3: Once you select the language of your preference, it will be saved automatically:
Your account will now be in the language you chose.
**NOTE**: When you update the language of your account, this may affect the emails and text messages you receive from EnGen. For example, if you switch the language of your account from Spanish to English, you will now receive communications from EnGen in English.

To see what tasks you should complete each week, check your email on Sundays.
EnGen's Sunday email summarizes your progress, invites you to workshops, and reminds you of the tasks you should do this week!
This email contains the following information:
A progress report of all the great work you did over the last week
What you should do in your EnGen program this week
Links to courses that we recommend you take
-
After completing the Needs Analysis, which you can find by going to Profile → Needs Analysis, EnGen will recommend courses based on your interests.
You can find these recommendations under Recommended Courses for You on the Home page:
Additionally, your organization or school may assign specific content for you to complete. You can find this content under Your Assigned Courses on the home page:
Please note that the main source of content is the Catalog, where you can browse and choose from the available courses:
You can filter courses by Keywords, Levels, and Career Pathways:
To start a course, click on it, and then click on the purple button “Start Course”:
The course status will then show as In Progress, and the first lesson in each unit will become clickable:
You can start with the first unit of a course or select any unit that you wish to complete.
Please note that you are not required to complete all the units in a course. You can choose the units that best align with your needs and learning goals, even if you do not complete every unit in the course.
-
The EnGen Proficiency Assessment (PA) is a test designed to measure your general level of English. EnGen uses your PA results to recommend courses that match your English level, so you can learn at a level that is challenging but not overwhelming.
The PA is adaptive, which means the difficulty of the questions changes based on your answers. The assessment starts at your current English level, based on your Needs Analysis or your most recent PA, and includes a Listening test followed by a Reading test.
If you answer most questions correctly, the next questions will be more difficult; if your performance is in the middle, the level stays the same; and if you answer fewer questions correctly, the next questions will be easier.
The assessment continues until there is enough information to determine your level. Your results include a separate level for Listening and Reading, and your overall English level is based on both results.
After 80-90 days on average, depending on your program, you may have the opportunity to take the PA again.
Taking the assessment multiple times allows you—and EnGen—to see how your English skills have improved throughout your program.
-
How often you should take the Proficiency Assessment (PA) depends on your program. On average, the Proficiency Assessment becomes available every 80–90 days.
To check when your assessment will be available again, go to Performance → Assessments and check the assessment availability date:
If the PA is already available, you will see the Take Assessment button:

In group classes, you connect with other learners in small groups, receive personalized feedback from your instructors, and get the help you need in a supportive and fun environment!
PRIVATE CLASSES: EnGen offers private one-on-one classes with a certified instructor online.

WRITING PROGRAM: EnGen's Writing Program is an online, personalized English language writing program. EnGen's writing teachers provide personalized instruction and give you writing prompts to help you practice the type of writing that suits your needs, goals, and English level. You may work on any type of writing needed for your career, education, or everyday life.
COACHING: If your program includes Coaching, you will be assigned an EnGen Coach. Your Coach supports and guides you through your English learning journey with EnGen. They will answer your questions and empower you as you work towards reaching your goals.
Your EnGen Coach can help you:
Understand your progress
Overcome obstacles and answer your questions
Find the resources and content that are right for you
Understand what you should focus on in order to be successful

Note: Depending on your program, you may not have access to any or all of EnGen's added services.
To find out which added services your EnGen program includes, you should check:

The email you received on the 1st day of your EnGen program – If you started your EnGen program in January 2024 or later, you received an email on the first day of your program that lists what your EnGen program includes.
