How To Earn AMS points

Accredited reps are enrolled into the AMS Designation Maintenance pathway (renewal cycle).

There are two ways to get AMS points for renewal:

1. Take courses/webinars in the AMS portal

AMS accredited reps can get AMS points by completing any of the courses or webinars in the learning catalog with 1 AMS point. Courses or webinars taken previously in the old AMS portal can be retaken in the new portal for points.

  • Navigate to Catalog > Select Enroll next to the course or webinar you want to complete
  • Enrolled courses or webinars will show under your My Training > Current 
  • Select Launch to start course or webinar
  • Complete course test or webinar quiz to receive 1 AMS point

2. Submit external events for credit

Accredited reps can also submit external events for credit.

  • Navigate to My Training > at the top, select Actions > Add External Training
    Screenshot: Add External Training
  • Select the External Training Approval Form Template in the drop-down, fill in all the requested information, and attach your proof of attendance/agendas or any other relevant information
  • Select Create
  • HIDA will approve and award AMS points accordingly and approved external events will show under My Training > Completed (2 hours of external training = 1 AMS point)

Your Certification progress tracker on the main page will update with your progress.
