ATA CE points
May 14, 2013
Dear Suzanne,
I want to register for this training, but I can't use the ATA CE points at the moment as I cannot be a member as long as I am an Iranian national. However, I may be able to do so in the future if I become a citizen of another country. Will I be able to use those points later?
Thanks in advance for your prompt reply.
Best, Hossein

Hello Hossein,
I was just notified of your message now, my apologies for the delay in replying. I suggest you contact the ATA regarding your question at certification@atanet.org, as the Certification Department would determine when and if you can use this accumulated ATA CE points.
