Participants who have never paid a membership with the UIAAA/NIAAA will need to set up a non-member profile to obtain their NIAAA number.  Below is an explanation of how to obtain said profile.

Creating a Non-Member Profile:

  1. On the NIAAA Website in the upper right-hand corner select Register
  2. Member Type is Non-Member unless you want to become a member
  3. Enter Username (Your Email Address) enter first name, last name, I’m not a robot and select Continue

  5. COMPLETE ALL FIELDS WITH RED ASTERISK AND THEN SUBMIT.

Your Member ID # will not change when you do become a member or move to a different state/school district. The Member Number is required when you sign in for Leadership Training Institute (LTI) courses.

You can find your member number on the NIAAA website, go to my profile, then under quick links select View Membership Card and ID number.

Completed LTI courses are also on the NIAAA website. Go to my profile, then under quick links select View My Transcript. The course transcript can be used to show completed courses for certification or your school district may allow them for CEU’s

Participants will also need to register on the UIAAA/Amp membership page.  You will need to click the membership. SINCE THE NIAAA IS COVERING ONE YEAR’S MEMBERSHIP, BE SURE TO CLICK PAY BY CHECK LATER.  This will allow the NIAAA to pay for the membership after the courses are completed.  Do not pay by credit card because the NIAAA will not be able to provide your membership if you do this!
