Your User name number will now appear. This number will act as the replacement for the social security number. For this one-time login you must still use your SSN.

You will now click on the “Login” button so that you can complete the login process.

This number will be important when signing up for future courses so you should keep it in a safe location.

Enter your SSN again and click on Login. If the system advises that you must contact an OFFT representative, click on “Forgot Password” to reset your password. Begin again as a First Time User. If you once again get the error screen, contact your Region Supervisor for assistance. Normally, the reset will resolve the problem.
