The New Education Center and What to Know

It’s here! Our new Education Center is now live and can be accessed at education.cacm.org. This Education Center was specifically designed with you in mind, and it is your one-stop-shop to all things education. Here, you can access course information, course materials, certifications and more. As exciting as this new Learning Center is, there are a few first steps you need to know before exploring.

1. Log in and Enroll

After October 1, log in to the Education Center. You will utilize the same login that you use for your member portal. If you are unaware of your member portal login or don’t remember, reach out to membership@cacm.org for help beforehand.

Now that you are logged in, you will want to click on ‘My Certifications’ on the left-hand side of the page. There you will be able to access certifications you have already earned, in the process of earning or expired. If you want to begin earning a new certification, this is where you can enroll in a new certification path.

2. Check Out the Dashboard

After navigating the certifications page, you will want to click your Status Report and from there you can head to the Dashboard. When you access the Dashboard, you will see the course and events you are registered for. By clicking on each course, you will be able to see the overview of the course, course handouts available to you to download, and a breakdown of each session. The breakdown of these sessions includes details on online class times and dates, instructor surveys, and exams.

3. Acknowledgement Required

The one thing you may notice upon the course overview is that some session details are locked. To access these, as well as receive class reminders via email, you must click the acknowledgement. Without clicking and thoroughly reading the acknowledgement, you will not be able to fully access course materials. This acknowledgement also provides you with information on session attendance, Zoom information, and more. This acknowledgement is one of the most important things that the education team needs from you to ensure that you have the best experience possible while navigating the new Learning Center. You won’t have access to this acknowledgement until you register for the course.

The Education Center is new for all of us and was built with you and your education in mind. You can access the Education Center directly from our website or you can head to education.cacm.org. Take the opportunity to navigate the Education Center and familiarize yourself with it.

FAQs

Have a question about how to register for a class or event? How to access your registrations? How to recertify? Head over to the FAQs section on the lefthand side menu of the Education Center. If you can’t find a particular answer for your question, email education@cacm.org.

EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS!

One of the cool new features of the new Education Center is that you will receive multiple reminders leading up to your course or event.

COURSE MATERIALS AND CLASS ZOOM LINKS

One key change from our previous process is that materials will no longer be emailed to you, but they will be accessible directly in the Education Center. Students can download all course materials prior to each class from the Handouts tab found in the course they registered for in the Education Center. The Zoom links to all online courses will also be available in the Education Center, so no more searching for that email with course details, it’s now all at your fingertips!
