Purchases Made BEFORE February 5, 2025:

You will generally have 12 months from the date of purchase to complete your course (unless otherwise noted in the course). If not completed by the Purchase Expiration Date, the course will be removed from your account. Before any course is expired, you will receive multiple email reminders that your expiration date is approaching. Certain specialty courses such as certificates or microcredentials may have extended expiration dates of 12-18 months that will be noted in the course summary. A refund will not be issued when the course is removed, but you will have the opportunity to purchase it again if you desire. 

Purchases Made AFTER February 5, 2025:

Courses in our On-Demand Catalog (including NATA member enhanced access courses) expire at the end of the membership year on December 31 at 11:59 p.m. CST. All incomplete courses will expire and be removed from your dashboard. Members can reregister for any courses removed once the catalog reopens in the new membership year. For Non-members, a refund will not be issued when the course is expired and removed, but you will have the opportunity to purchase it again, if you desire. 

Certificates, Microcredentials, and specialized content will generally have an expiration date of 12-18 months from the date of purchase that will be noted in the course summary. If not completed by the Purchase Expiration Date, the course will be removed from your account. Before any course is expired, you will receive multiple email reminders that your expiration date is approaching. A refund will not be issued when the course is removed, but you will have the opportunity to purchase it again if you desire. 

Exceptions for all Purchases:

1. Courses within special events such as Virtual Conferences, Encore Events, etc. will only be available during the advertised window. These courses will expire at the end of the event window and must be completed before the last day of the event at 11:59 p.m. CT.
2. The BOC Expiration Date comes before NATA's expiration date. The BOC Expiration Date is essentially the date that a course aligns with the current practice analysis. In this case, a refund will not be offered. 
3. NATA also reserves the right to retire a course if it in some way becomes invalid. If that happens, we will work with you to correct the situation. This will be corrected by offering a refund in the form of original payment or an exchange for an equivalent valued course.

Course expiration dates are intended to:

1. Provide adequate time for course completion, aligning with your learning schedule.
2. Promote timely course utilization to enhance patient care and support continuous learning.
3. Prevent purchased courses from being overlooked or unused.
4. Maintain an organized dashboard by removing courses you choose not to pursue.

From the homepage, click on "Browse Course Catalog." This will allow you to browse courses by topic, domain, and/or type.

You can also easily search for specific courses, topics, or keywords from the Catalog tab on the top menu or the Site Search box in the left sidebar. You can search by:

• Categories - Choose all or specific domains and/or categories to filter
• Types - Choose all or filter to on-demand, certificates, JAT quizzes, special events, bundles, etc. 
• Keywords - Search by topic or keyword to see what offerings NATA educATe has available.

Once you have made your selections, click Find to start the search.

Access your purchased courses through the Course Dashboards page. 

My Dashboard contains your On-Demand Courses, Event Packages, JAT Quizzes, and Live Webinars. "Filter by Status" at the top of the page to show Incomplete, Completed, or All Courses.

Multi-Course Dashboard contains your courses that have prerequisite requirements. This includes Certificates such as Master Preceptor I & II, and Microcredentials.

You can only receive a statement of credit for each course one time. The system does not allow you to purchase the same course more than once. We are continuously adding new courses to our catalog to provide members with a variety of educational options to get their 50 CEUs each reporting period. (See section "Do I have Access to Courses that I Completed in the PDC?" below to see how previously completed courses look like in your Dashboard and in the Catalog.)

Yes. You may take an assessment a total of three (3) times. After the third failed retake, the course is marked as failed and will remain in your dashboard until it expires (365 days from the purchase date). Once it expires, you will have the opportunity to purchase and retake the course, if desired. If you need to repurchase the course before the expiration date, complete the contact form below to request that your course be expired immediately.

Request for Immediate Course Expiration

You are required to complete the following before a Statement of Credit is produced.

1. View and complete all course components (videos, handouts, interactive components, etc.).
2. Achieve a passing score of 70% or better on the assessment.
3. Complete (including open ended questions) the course evaluation.
4. Your Statement of Credit will be available to print instantly upon completion of the course evaluation, and then can also be found by accessing "My Transcript" from the left-side menu.

All of your statements of credit from 2018-2023 were imported over to EducATe so that you would have access to them in our new system for BOC audit purposes. Any of these courses that are still active in the system will still be available for you to review (just as you could in the PDC) on your My Dashboard page. While you are allowed to review all of course components, you cannot receive CEUs for the same course twice. These items are only available to you for review purposes.

To view these courses, go to My Dashboard and change the Status Filter to “Completed.” You will see the imported courses from the PDC marked as “Completed – You didn’t pass the test."

The certificate within the course will be marked Complete with green checkmark and show “Credits granted by Admin; bypassing requirements."

Your completed courses are also noted in the course catalog when logged in. When you are browsing you will see “View” under courses you have already completed and/or purchased and “Register” for courses that are available:

Screen Not Displaying Properly:

If you are unable to see the entire screen or pop up box, your screen resolution/size may be set too high to display the entire area properly. Try zooming out by holding ctrl and pressing the - key until the desired size is found. You can also access the zoom in/out feature by using the three dot top menu icon on most browsers.

Video Troubleshooting:

I. Assessment not unlocking after watching the video?
Participants are required to watch the video in its entirety before the system will unlock the next course component. Minutes are tracked and saved while the user is actively viewing. Please ensure that you refrain from skipping ahead or fast-forwarding through unviewed segments and avoid navigating away from the video window during playback as the viewing time will not be tracked.

Should you need to pause, simply click pause and exit the video. Your progress will be saved, and the video will begin where you left off when you access it again.

II. If you are experiencing issues with your video such as not being able to access, buffering, error message, or your assessment does not unlock after viewing the video in its entirety, it is likely that your computer/network is blocking the tracking of the video. This often happens at schools and businesses that have networks with a firewall or malware software installed on their computers. If you are using a school/business computer or internet connection, try watching the videos at home using your personal computer on your home Wi-Fi network or on a cellular device such as a phone or tablet. If you are unable to use a personal device on your own network, you may need to ask your IT Team to check if your school/business computer’s browser settings are correct or if there are any access restrictions in place for Vimeo video viewing & tracking from your computer or internet network.

If you are accessing from your personal computer on your home internet and are still having trouble with video tracking, try these steps:

1. Clear your Browser Cache, Cookies, and History. Need help? Use this link to help clear your Browser Cookies, Cache and History. You may have to login again after clearing.
2. Check that JavaScript is enabled. This link provides instructions on how to enable JavaScript on your browser.
