LOG IN INFORMATION

How do I register for a course or workshop?

• A student or their manager can register for a class without setting up an account.  Registrations can only be entered for one student at a time, as course records are tied to student e-mail addresses.
• Select a course or courses you want to purchase, click enroll, and follow the checkout instructions.
• Be certain to include the student’s email when purchasing the class. All course records are tied to their e-mail address.
• The student will get email confirmation including a link to access an account in the Learning Management System.
• If this is the student’s first time to our new Learning Management System, they will need to finish setting up their account including setting the password.

How do I access my course history?

• The easiest way is to click “My Classroom” in the top right corner of our new website.

What is “My Classroom”?

• My Classroom is your learning dashboard in our new Learning Management System.

What is a Learning Management System?

• A Learning Management System is a place where student records, course materials, quizzes and tests are housed. This is how we administer, document, deliver, track, and report your progress! IEA has selected a state of the art system that has been specially tailored to your needs.

Do I need to set up a new account?

• It is necessary for all students to set up a new account on our new site in order to access their new courses and workshops as well as student records. All of your historic data is still on our old platform and we are preparing to upload your data into the new platform in the near future.
• If you have taken courses on our previous platform, please use the same e-mail address and password, as this will allow us to combine your historical data with your new data.
• If your e-mail has changed, please let us know at info@ieatraining.com so we can update your information in our existing database.

I don’t remember the old email address that I may have used. What do I do?

• Start with setting up a new account, then email us atinfo@ieatraining.com and let us know any prior names and / or employers you may have had. We will search for your old information and link it to your new account.

I can’t remember my new login information.

• If you have already set up an account on our new website, click on “forgot user name or password” on the Login screen.

I never needed a user id and password in the past, why now?

• Creating your own consolidated history allows all of your IEA records to be in one place. IEA now provides personal records which will be fully accessible to you when you login and use your own personal username and password. This means you can engage in your class, take quizzes and exams, track your grades and manage your own course history anywhere and anytime. This is truly YOUR IEA.

How do I get CE credit?

• When you set up your new account, you will see a field to enter in your name (as it appears on your License) and your Insurance License Number. This will automatically provide you with CE whenever IEA is providing it.
• Check the course or workshop description to see if it offers CE Continuing Education credit.

ENROLLMENT

I want to enroll several employees at once. How do I do that and pay you if you want each student to have their own account?

• Students must be enrolled one at a time as separate transactions. It is OK for one person to register multiple students, but the students need to each have their own account in order to maintain their own records.
• Student accounts are tied to their email addresses.

I’ve always submitted paper registrations for me or my staff. What do I do now?

• Please click the “Pay by Check” link below the enrollment button to download the enrollment form. Fill out one Enrollment Form per student, and send a check along with the enrollment forms to IEA at the address on the form.
• Our new system is very robust and has greater capabilities. We encourage online enrollment as it reduces errors, allows for faster and more efficient service.
• While we continue to accept paper registrations, we would like to encourage online registration and payment. Please consider how we may adapt our systems and processes to allow for your organization’s needs in a fully automated way and contact us at info@ieatraining.com. We’d love to hear your ideas.

COURSE HISTORY

What is the difference between a Transcript, Course History, Course Certificates and Grade Report?

• A transcript is an official document informing an employer or other learning institution what courses you have taken through IEA, and includes your grades. The official transcript also includes upper/lower division baccalaureate semester hours. If you need an official transcript, please complete the transcript request form (found under FORMS on our Home Page) and submit it along with the appropriate fee.
• Your course history is an informal listing of your courses taken through IEA. You may see and download your history from your account on our site.
• Course certificates are awarded at the end of IEA “Designation” Programs such as CPDM. Training Certificates (certificate of attendance) are provided at the completion of individual classes, seminars and workshops.
• Final grades are posted in your account at the end of a semester class.

Where are my transcript/course history/certificates/grades?

• Your course history is currently housed in our old system. We are preparing to migrate five years of history into our new system over the next few months and will make an announcement when that occurs. Once that is done, you will want to confirm all your information is correct. In the meantime, if you need your current course history or if you need course history further back than five years, please contact info@ieatraining.com.
• If you need an official transcript, please complete the transcript request form (found under FORMS on our Home Page) and submit it along with the appropriate fee.

Why do I need to pay for my transcript?

• Preparation of an official transcript requires research and preparation of your unique record. The Cost for this preparation is $25.
• There is no charge to view your course history through your online account.

There are courses that I took through IEA that are not showing on my record.

• We are still in the process of preparing the data from our old system to upload into our new learning portal. We appreciate your patience in this process. In the meantime, if you have questions about your course history, please e-mail info@ieatraining.com.
