- If you are retaking the CNT course and can't login, do NOT create a new profile. Email for login assistance.
- Credit card payment will be pre-authorized but not charged until your registration is approved.
Step 4: Upload your CNT Eligibility Requirements Form and required documents into the Eligibility Documentation Upload Form (login required) within 2 business days of your registration request submission. Your registration cannot be approved until all documents are received.
If you have a verifiable disability and request accommodation, please upload required documentation separately using the CNT Course Disability Accommodation Documentation Upload Form. NOTE: All uploaded documents are linked to the registrant's record so it's critical to upload documents while logged in as that registrant.
Step 5: Watch for your registration approval email and notification that you can access the online course modules. Please be sure to review your profile information (in your online portal) to confirm that your name, address and date of birth are accurate. NOTE: Official documents (e.g. completion certificate) will use your profile name as it appears, so double check the spelling and capitalization.
