EMERGENCY RESPONSE FOR THE ATHLETE (ERA)

RECERTIFICATION COURSE REGISTRATION

To register for an ERA Recertification course, please follow these steps:

1. Log into the Cogent Steps Learner Account with an ERA course completion or an associated course.* You may register for recertification six months prior to your ERA certification expiration (for example, if you completed your ERA certification on 11/28/2022, you will not be able to register to recertify until AFTER 5/28/2025).

2. Navigate to Purchase History on your account page.

3. Confirm that you are logged into an account that shows an ERA course purchased/attended within the past three years. If you cannot locate it, please try a different email address or contact us for further assistance to identify the appropriate account.

4. Navigate to the Upcoming ERA Recertification Course List.
a) Select an online immersive course module to complete your prerequisite work.
b) Add an ERA Recertification Ticket to your order and select “get tickets.”

5. Proceed through the checkout process to provide your attendee information, billing details, and payment method.

Once you register and pay for a course, you MUST complete the chosen ERA Recertification Online Training Module (accessible under Online Training in your My Learner Account) before attending your in-person or virtual course.

Virtual students will need a Sports Venue Emergency Response Kit (SVERK) or the listed supplies to complete the online labs.

6. Your certificate of completion will be sent after you fill out the post-course survey. The survey will be automatically sent when all course requirements are completed.
