The course seats are valid for one year from the date of purchase. To determine the exact date of expiration, just look to your Employer Accounts - Home Page. It appears as the second date listed under the "Purchase/Expiration Date" column. See the example marked below.

Yes! When you are ready to make a purchase, click on the "Purchase Course Seats" link that appears just below the purchases section on your Employer Accounts - Home Page. Locate the course you wish to purchase and enter the number of course seats desired in the quantity box. Next, click the tick box that appears to the left of the course you wish to purchase (see the example below). Simply repeat this process until you are finished making your selections, then scroll down to the bottom of the screen and enter your payment information.

Yes! Enter the number of days you will allow your employees to complete a course in the "# Days to Complete" section as shown in the example above. The countdown to complete the course will begin from the day the employee registers for the course.

Note: No more than 60 days can be granted to complete an online course, and no more than 180 days can be granted to complete a mail-order course.

Enter the check number in the payment field as shown below and then click "Purchase." Be sure to print two copies of the confirmation screen: one for your records and the other to mail in with your check payment. Please understand that the course seats purchased by check will not be activated right away. This means that your employees will not be able to register for the course until your payment is physically received.

What if you don't know the check number? Just enter a temporary check number, your payment information will be updated once your check is received.

There are two ways to tell if any of your employees have registered yet. The first is to look at the "Seats Unused" column. If this number is the same as what appears in the "Seats Paid" column, then no one has registered for the pre-paid course. The second way is to click on the "Students" link located under the "Enrolled" column. If this link does not appear, it means that no one has registered yet for the course. See the example below.

The second course listed indicates that a student has registered for the course.

By clicking on the "Students" link located under the "Enrolled" column you will see the name of the employee(s), when they registered or enrolled, the amount of days left they have to complete the course, and when they completed the course. See the example below.

Notice that "Carol Test" did not complete the course.

The reference code is listed on the confirmation page you received after purchasing a course. It is also located on the e-mail confirmation you received after making an employer purchase. If you are unable to locate your receipts, simply log into your account. The reference codes for each course are listed on your Employer Accounts - Home Page. Refer to the image below.

There are two reasons why an employee would receive this error. First, please make sure that the employee is entering the appropriate reference code for the course that they are supposed to register for. If the code does not match or is being used for a different course, the reference code will not bypass the credit card fields.

The second reason involves the control list. If you created a control list and the employee is either not listed or their name/e-mail address does not match what they are entering on the registration form, the reference code will not bypass the credit card fields. The solution is to update your control list to include the correct information for that participant.

Refunds must be requested within 30 days from the date of purchase. Once 30 days have passed, refunds will not be issued. Online course purchases: course exams must have zero (0) test attempts in order to receive a refund. Mail-order purchases: the course book and answer sheet must be returned unused. Once the book is received and found to be in new condition, credit will be issued.

You can request a refund by sending an e-mail to courses@nysna.org or call us at 518-782-9400 ext. 377. Once the request for a refund is received, it can take up to 7 business days for the credit to appear on your card's account.

The easiest way to control for this is to provide the reference code only to your employees or to those individuals who you intended to take the course. Please be aware that under no circumstances will an e-leaRN representative provide your employee(s) with an employer reference code. This policy is in place because there is no way for us to verify if they are actually an active employee.

If you're looking for further control, read on to learn more about the control list feature available from your Employer Account.

The control list is an optional feature in which an employer can designate who can use a specific reference code. In a sense, it is an invitation list such that only those who are on it may participate in the employer paid course.

There are two ways to add a control list: manually enter each employee name and e-mail address or upload a tab delimited (text) file. The only details you need to provide for either method are each employee's full name and e-mail address. It is important to know that the number of course seats purchased must match the number of employees listed on the control list. For example, if you purchased 10 course seats, 10 employee names must appear on the control list if you choose to use that feature.

To begin, click on the "Control List" link listed under the "Enrolled" column.

To manually add employees to the control list, enter the first name, last name, and e-mail address of an employee. Next, click on the "Add to List" button (refer to the image below). Repeat this process until all employee names and e-mail addresses have been added.

Uploading employee information from a file will save valuable time particularly when you have many employees to enter. To begin, click on the "Upload from a File" link (marked in the sample image above). The first step is to create a tab delimited (text) file using Microsoft Excel. The first row of the text file must be the following column headings: Email, FirstName, LastName. Refer to the sample text file below.

Yes! If you made a mistake or need to update an employee's details just follow these steps:

1. Click on "Control List" 2. Click on the "Delete" link that appears next to the person that needs to be updated or removed (see example below). 3. Enter the new or updated employee details 4. Click the "Add to List" button. The new information will appear on the control list.
