A better NDTC online learning experience has arrived 🙌💻

Have you logged into the new Online Academy yet? Login today and explore your updated dashboard and enhanced learning experience (and take a course or download a resource while you are there!)

Yesterday, our Online Academy transitioned over to a new dashboard with an updated learning experience. You’ll still have access to the same courses and resources you do now, but with an improved experience to help you learn the skills you need quicker and more effectively.

You’ll continue to see new enhancements and updates as we head into the new year (we can’t wait to share how you can use them to organize your training and reach your goals more effectively) but for now, here’s what you need to know:

  • You’ll need to re-login the first time you enter the Online Academy after the switch over using your same credentials (don’t worry if you’ve forgotten your password, you can reset it).
  • Your course enrollment will be transitioned to your new dashboard, meaning your completed courses will still be reflected.
  • If you have any struggles, head over to traindemocrats.org/techsupport, fill out the form, and our tech team will help you out!
