Does a CIS student needs to do the IPC Essential Program in his training? We finished the mandatory Module final Test but the Module is still stated as “incomplete”.

No, the CIS student doesn’t have to do the Essentials Program. It is not mandatory but he can do it if he would like to do it. It is normal that the Portal states that the Module is incomplete until the student has downloaded his/hers certificate. So after downloading the students certificate, the Portal will state the module as complete.
