Course Registration and Payment

 

Registrations and Payment

 

All class registrations must be completed by clicking on the name of the class you want on the Course Registration page. This will take you to the login page, where you will login with your username and password, or create an account with a username and password.

 

If you are new, when your username and password are created our website will send you an e-mail from 7 Cedars Training Support. This often ends up in your junk or spam folder – look there if it does not show up immediately in your inbox. Click on the link and you will be confirmed into the Training Center.

 

Be sure you have a CERTS ID number.  Students will only get credit for CAC training in Colorado if in the CERTS database, which will produce a transcript for DORA when the student is ready to apply for a credential.  More information HERE.  The CERTS ID goes at the bottom of your Seven Cedars profile when you are setting up your account.

 

When you sign in with your username and password you will see our list of courses. Be sure you click on the class with the correct date you want. This will take you to a credit card payment portal. Be sure you enter the credit card information exactly as it appears on the billing as an incorrect address or zip will decline the transaction. You will not need an enrollment key. You can then enter your course and read the introductory materials, including the syllabus and instructions for joining the online orientation. 

 

If your agency is paying the fee, or you prefer to pay by check, call 970-263-7775 or send an e-mail to Sandy@7CedarsTraining.com and we’ll walk you through a slightly different registration process.

 

We are also a Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and Workforce Center educational provider and again will be happy to provide additional information about accessing those services. Enrollment in a class is not complete until payment has been made in full or we’ve received notification your employer or another third party will pay.

 

Registrations are on a first-come, first-served basis.  We encourage early registration, as class sizes are limited, especially in the live courses.  If you are taking online courses, please be sure to read What You Need to Participate in an Online Class below.

 

You may register up through the second day after a class begins as long as you pay by credit card or have an authorized third party payor (like an employer).
