Course Registration

First-time users will begin by creating an account in AEA Learning Online.

  • Do not create a second account within the system, as this can cause the loss of training records and issues logging in. If you are unsure whether you have a previous account, try resetting your password.

  • Remember to add employment information. If you are new to your district, you will need a district verification code to associate you with your district and to access employee-required training for free.

The Professional Development Department at Proflearning@aea9.k12.ia.us or 563-344-6481 can assist you with resetting passwords and district verification codes.
