I just ordered my one-year subscription but can’t figure out how to login. How do I access my subscription? Allow 2-4 business days from date of purchase for your subscription to become active. Once your user account is created you will receive an email from nafmeacademy@nafme.org with further instructions.
I recently watched a webinar and successfully passed the quiz. How do I access my certificate of completion?
- Log-in to NAfME Academy
- Under “My Classes” select the class the webinar you completed is within. (Ex: “Band Webinars”)
- Select “Grades” in the navigation bar across the top of your screen.
- In the “Certificate” column, click the word “Download.”
- Right-click the certificate and select “save as”
If the word “Download” does not appear, it is likely due to a lower than satisfactory assessment score (75%). If you would like to take the assessment again, please email nafmeacademy@nafme.org. Be sure you include your name, as it appears in NAfME Academy, and the title of the webinar you wish to retake.
I am a school district music supervisor. Is there a way for me to provide NAfME Academy subscriptions to all the music educators I supervise? Yes, we also work with school districts to provide NAfME Academy subscriptions to the music teachers they employ. Email us at nafmeacademy@nafme.org for more information.
Do NAfME Academy webinars count toward Continuing Education Units? We realized each state, district and even school approach professional development a bit differently. Upon successful completion of any NAfME provided professional development, you will be issued a certificate of completion valued at ‘one contact hour.’ We recommend you to take this certificate to your administrator to determine how it will be applicable in your specific circumstance.
How do I find archived webinars? Archived webinars can be found in NAfME Academy. Once you purchase a one-year subscription, you will receive a link, username, and password to NAfME Academy.
Can you receive a certificate of completion after viewing archived webinars?
If you are interested in receiving a certificate of completion from viewing the webinar you have the opportunity to answer the questions accompaning the video.
Can I purchase a webinar individually? No, all 100+ hours of professional development webinars are sold as a package. A one-year subscription to NAfME Academy is $20 for current members of NAfME and $100 for non-members.
How long are most webinars? The webinars are approximately 1 hour in length.
What equipment do I need to participate in a NAfME Academy webinar? Basic Equipment Needed:
- Computer with Internet access
- Speakers
Is this opportunity available to non-members? If you are not a NAfME member, you can still access webinars. However, there are many other benefits provided to music educators when becoming a member of NAfME. Please visit the Membership Tour for an overview, and consider joining more than 75,000 active, retired, and pre-service NAfME members who represent all levels of teaching.
I am an educator in Washington State. Are NAfME Academy webinars approved?

I work in Pennsylvania and need ACT 48 hours. Is NAfME an approved provider? Yes, any work you do with NAfME provided professional development counts towards ACT 48 hours.
