How do I enroll & access my eLearning courses?

Step 2: Explore our eLearning catalog, login to your own AWWA account, and complete your course registration.

Step 3: After registration and payment is complete, visit awwa.org and click ‘My Account’. From there, select ‘My Courses’ from the left-hand navigation menu.

Step 4: You will be redirected to AWWA’s Learning Management System (LMS). Click your course title to begin.

What is a self-paced course?
Self-paced courses are delivered exclusively online, and progress is driven solely by the student. This format allows the student to move through course content at his/her own pace, taking into consideration the individual’s knowledge level and capacity. Self-paced courses can be completed anytime during a 90-day period after registration. These courses may include presentations, pre-recorded audio, supporting articles, online learning activities, videos, quizzes and evaluations. View AWWA’s full list of courses here
