How to skip/fast forward boring mandatory eLearning courses

At work, I have to go through some very tiresome and boring eLearning modules that are just a waste of time.

It’s an online course running in a browser (Firefox) on our firms servers. But I can’t identify on which software it’s built on.

There are hundreds of PowerPoint-like slides with text/videos and a voice sample playing on every slide.

There is a “Next” button to click, when the slide presentation/voice sample is finished. Until then, the next button is hidden.

Is there a way to skip through the slides without waiting for the slide to finish its presentation?

I don’t have admin rights or anything on this machine, but I have access to Firefox inspector and therefore console.

When inspecting a “next” button with Firefox inspector it shows something like:

div id=“btn_next_836” class=“cp-frameset” … at some point it says visibility: visible

Can I somehow enter anything in Firefox console that makes the slide go next instantly?

As long as it’s paid. And you are supposed to be doing nothing but the e-learning. You bet your ass I’d be ‘watching it’.

With an earbud in, and an audio book playing on my phone completely ignoring the screen except for when the next button magically appears.

Kind of an opinion/suggestion, not a direct answer to the question. Kind of like posting “I don’t know” why even post…

Video speed controller" extension for chrome will speed up the video even at 10x fast:

I found this does not work on Percipio. I used it to speed up the video but the training does not recognize the video has been watched then I have to watch the video again at the 1x speed
