There are two ways to create an account. First, you can click the Register button in the main menu. That will allow you to create a new account. Second, you can find a course, add it to the basket, and check out. That will automatically create an account. But, once you have an account created, you can click on your profile picture at the top of the page (next to the login button) to access your student dashboard where you can see your learning achievements, download completion certificates from past courses, etc.
If you have questions about taking a course in our LMS, you can start with the two support articles, How To Navigate the LMS Interface and the more general one, How To Take a Course In the SVTA University LMS. If neither of those resources help, you can always open a support ticket and we will work to answer your question.
We are always on the lookout for instructors to help develop courses. If you are an employee of a member company, it might be worth bringing the course idea to a working group meeting and suggesting it as a project. If you aren’t a member, that’s no problem! Our LMS is setup to support the development of courses by third-party instructors. Just reach out with your course idea and we will get in touch to discuss.
If you have a great idea for a course that we should offer, please feel free to contact the Streaming Video Technology Alliance.
