Welcome to Term 3 2018, APS learners!  All courses are now available.  

As you will see when you log in for the first time (or first time back), we have a new look, a new learning management system (LMS), and new ways of getting around and getting things done.  

 Our site looks different, but our web address is the same: www.academyofpeerservices.org

 A few important notes:

  • If you already have an account, log in under your original user name or email address (either will work) and click “Forgot my Password” to reset your password. You must do this before you can access the system.

  • If this is your first time here, you will need to register. Click Log in in the upper right corner of the homepage and Create an Account button to get started. 

    Our online User Guide includes step-by-step instructions and videos to help you get started. You can also find a link to the online guide at the bottom of the Academy of Peer Services homepage. 

Terms of Use

Whether you are new to the Academy or a returning user, review the   Terms Of Use Agreement  which explains your rights and your responsibilities while using the Academy and its resources.

 The Academy of Peer Services supports only one email per registered user. If you register under multiple accounts, it can result in a loss of course completion data and a loss of privilege to use the site in the future. Be sure to register only one time and use only one email while taking courses on the site. 

User Support

Our Virtual Learning Community (VLC) provides access to a webinar about the site upgrades and a quick links to the procedures in the online User Guide, video tutorials, and more.

 The FAQ (frequently asked questions) list has also been updated to answer questions about the new site. Check here first for answers to your questions!  

 For other questions related to accessing and managing the courses, Send email to our user support specialists: academyofpeerservicesnyomh@gmail.com

 Coming Soon

Three courses will be released within the coming weeks, so watch for an announcement when they are ready for you to register.

·      The New York Peer Specialist Certification Board:  The Peer Specialist Certification Process in New York State (an Information Only module)

 

·      Self-Care for Peer Specialists (a new Elective course)

 

·      Revisiting the History of Peer Services from a Cultural Perspective (a new Elective course)

 

We hope you all have a productive term! Contact user support with any questions that are not addressed in the User Guide or FAQ.
