Where do I access my online training course?
All courses are accessed via our Online Training Center.
I purchased an online training course and tried to log into the Online Training Center but my credentials were denied. How can I view my course?
After you purchase your online training course, you must first log in to your IOE member account on our official web site and enroll in the course you purchased. This step activates your license key. You will need your course license key to enroll in the course. Important: You will not be able to log into the Online Training Center until this step has been completed.
Where can I find my course license key?
Your course license key is included on your store purchase receipt. If you did not recieve a store purchase receipt in your email, please check your Spam/Junk email filter. You can also view your store orders online or by clicking on Course License Keys when logged into your IOE member account.

When your admnistrator invites participants, all invitations will be sent to participants via email.
