Enrolling for and Accessing Course Materials
for Courses Delivered via the Course Portal
Enrolling for courses delivered through a Course Portal is
easy. If you are not already registered in LOMANET, follow
the instructions on page 55. Once registered, use your login
ID and password to access LOMANET. Select the course and
your exam type (I*STAR, Prometric, or paper) and desired
exam period, and complete any additional steps concerning
payment, etc. Once your enrollment is completed, click on
“My Learning” in the selection menu. “My Learning” will
display the course for which you’ve enrolled if your course
provides access to online resources and study materials.
Click on the course title, which will launch your Course Portal
in a new window.
You will have access to the Course Portal through the exam
period selected during the enrollment process. If you do not
sit for your exam by the end of the exam period, you will
need to purchase a fee transfer to change your exam period
to a future period. If you are taking your exam at a Prometric
Center, please see page 55 for full instructions on selecting
an exam date and the process for purchasing fee transfers.
Enrolling For Exams and Bundled Courses
LOMA offers an examination for each professional
designation program course to assess a participant’s
successful mastery of the course content. These exams
are available in paper and electronic formats and are
administered in LOMA member organizations and in
independent testing locations. This section provides
information about exam formats, enrollment procedures for
both exams and bundled courses, and exam fees.
LOMA exams vary in length from 2–3 hours. Consult your
Test Preparation Guide (TPG) or Education Representative
for specific information about the length of your exam. As
new or revised LOMA courses are released, the number of
examination questions for some course examinations may
change. Exam for revised courses that formerly consisted of
75 questions with a 3-hour time limit will now consist of 60
questions and have a 2-hour time limit.
If you enroll for an examination, you are responsible for
studying the correct assigned materials. The assigned
study materials for each course are listed in the “Course
Descriptions” section, beginning on page 17. If you enroll for
a bundled course delivered through a LOMA Course Portal,
the assigned study materials are included in your enrollment
and are accessible via the Course Portal. For a more
complete description of your responsibilities as a student in
LOMA’s professional designation programs, please refer to
the “Professional Designation Programs” section on page 7.
Your enrollment process will depend on the type of
examination you choose to take:
•Paper exams administered twice yearly on specified
examination dates (see page 61)
•Computerized/I*STAR exams at your company
•Computerized/I*STAR exams at Prometric Testing
Centers (available in the United States and Canada only)
LOMA offers two options for exam enrollment:
•Online enrollment via LOMANET, our Internet-based
education administration system
•Enrollment forms for paper exams, for use by
independent students only, are available for download at
www.loma.org
If your company will enroll over 20 students at a time, your
Ed Rep should contact LOMA’s Office of the Registrar for a
time-saving feature.
