I. Log in
NATA Members (past and present) and Professional Development (PDC) users already have a username and password.
Click the blue Log In button above the left sidebar menu. Log in using the email and password associated with your NATA account. This is the same login that is used for nata.org. If you need to reset your password, create an account, or need assistance updating your email/account information, please visit our Contact Us page.

If you have never been a member or used our PDC, you can create a new non-member account to access courses at the non-member rate.

II. Set Your Profile

Once logged in, take a moment to tell us what you are interested in. Click on Profile on the left sidebar menu and rate your interest in the available list of categories. This simple step, helps us recommend products in your areas of interest (see the "Recommended Based on Your Interests" section at the bottom of the home page).

III. Search for Courses
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 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 courses, certificates, JAT quizzes, special events, 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.

When you are browsing you will see “View” under courses you have already completed and/or purchased and “Register” for courses that are available. 

IV. Access Purchased Courses & View Your Statements of Credit
Click on Course Dashboards in the left sidebar menu and select the appropriate dashboard:

My Dashboard:

• Access courses you have purchased. Use the menu at the top to filter by status to see In Progress and/or Completed Courses.
• Access/Print statements of credit and a transcript of completed courses. This can also be accessed by clicking "My Transcript" on the left sidebar menu.
• View your notifications and badges.
• View your Prepaid Balance (Membership Credit) - Credit is issued in February, and any unused credit expires on Dec. 31 at 11:59 CST of the membership year.

   Multi-Course Dashboard:

• Access courses that have prerequisites such as:  Certificate Packages (ex. Master Preceptor Level I & II), Courses in a Series with Prerequisite Requirements, Microcredential Packages (Coming Soon!)

V. Completing Courses
Course components must be completed in sequential order. Once the component is completed, the next will unlock for users to access. Use the Course Review questions to guide your learning throughout the course. 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 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 pause the video and exit the window. Your minutes viewed will be tracked, and your position in the video will be saved after exiting. When returning, your video will resume where you left off to complete the remaining time requirement.

Once the video has been viewed in its entirety, participants must complete the assessment and survey to receive their statement of credit for CEUs.

VI. Previously Completed Courses
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 the My Dashboard page 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."

VII. Accessibility Toolkit
This site has a built in accessibility toolkit. To access, click on the Accessibility link in the top right heading of each page. Once the toolkit is open, you will have access to several accessibility tools. To learn about each available tool, click the red icon to access the user guide.

VIII. Share Your Feedback

If you notice a "bug" in the system or have a suggestion regarding our new learning management system, please contact us using the Tech Help form on the Help/Contact Us page.
