Certificates

For some courses, certificates are awarded to learners who complete the course. As you complete a module of the course as listed in the "Content" section of the respective course's page, you will see a green checkmark indicating that that module has been successfully completed. Upon successful completion of all course requirements, which depending on the requirements for the course, may include viewing of slides, completion of modules and/or quizzes, or the submission of assignments, you will be immediately notified via a "pop-up alert" that you have successfully completed the course and have earned a certificate. You will be able to download and print your PDF certificate.

Additionally, each certificate you earn is accessible from your "My certifications" page for as long as the certification is valid. Be sure to download your certificate upon completion as certifications cannot be retrieved once they have expired. Check the course description page for certification duration.

View My Complete Course History

If you completed a CCM self-study course in our prior learning management system (LMS), that course history will not appear in this LMS. However, ICM maintains a record of all courses you have taken towards the CCM and CCE certification, whether the course was taken virtually, in-person, or self-study.

Log into NCSC’s official event registration system at the link below. 
Note: Your login for NCSC’s event registration system is separate from the login you use for accessing ICM’s LMS. 
If you have taken an ICM course previously, whether in-person, virtual, or self-study, then you should already have an account in NCSC’s event registration system, and therefore you will want to log in with your existing credentials. Your login credentials will be the same as those used same to register for NCSC events and NCSC-managed groups (e.g., NACM, NASJE, NAPCO, etc.)  If you don't remember your password, use the “forgot your password” feature to avoid creating a duplicate account.
