Administration
Becoming a Recognized Training Provider
(RTP)
• Become a RTP
– Submit application for NATE review
– If approved you will be notified by email
– The email will contain instructions on how to create your myNATE login.
• Be listed as an instructor
– You will have access to view an established RTP’s courses and have the
ability to upload class rosters for those courses.
– You would need an RTP administrator to associate your existing myNATE
login with their RTP
– If you do not have an existing myNATE login, you can register one going to
the “First Time User?” tab on www.myNATE.org.
– You would not be able to register new courses as an instructor; only upload
class rosters.
New Features for RTPs
• Registration of Individual Instructors to Submit Course Attendance
Records Online
– Instructors can now be added to your RTP organization. Once
added, your instructors will have their own unique login to submit
class rosters online so technicians can get course credit
immediately. No paper attendance records required.
• Improved submission of courses
– The process to submit courses will be simpler and easier than
ever before by simply entering a course description and selecting
the relevant specialties. Upon review, an email notification will be
sent notifying the training provider contact of the status.

– Courses will be viewable in a consolidated list that can be filtered
by all fields including status. Individual Courses can then be
viewed through a detail pop-up.
