01. Accessing content and log-in issues

Why can't I purchase a course?
From January 2024, all on-demand courses on the events.graphisoftus.com website have been migrated to the global Graphisoft Learn site. This change will provide customers with a greater range of content plus a streamlined login experience.
This means that courses can no longer be purchased on the events.graphisoftus.com website – however if you are already enrolled in a course, you’ll still have access to this site in order to complete it.
How do I log-in to the Graphisoft North Amercia Events website?
You will need to log-in here using the credentials chosen when you set up your account or placed your first order. NOTE these credentials are different to your SSA Subscription Payment Portal and your Graphisoft ID. They are specific to this website.
I can’t seem to log in to the Events site?
If you enter the incorrect username/password 3 or more times, you will be temporarily locked out of the system. You’ll need to try again after 5 minutes, or reset your password here.
How do I access my On-Demand content?
After logging in to the Events system (see instructions above), you’ll be able to see your courses on your Profile Page.
How do I access my Remote Learning sessions?
View details under the ‘Information for Remote Learning courses’ section below.
I'm logged in but can't access my course content?
Some users may log into the site successfully but be unable to access the Lessons for a course that they are enrolled in. This is often resolved by restarting your computer.
Still having trouble? Please submit a support request (for help accessing course content only) here.

02. Purchasing courses for another user

Can I purchase an On-Demand (recorded) course for another person?

Yes. You can purchase an individual course or a course bundle for another user.

To do this simply select the course/s and proceed to Checkout. Once at the Checkout you will see an area below the address details titled ‘Purchase for another user’. Enter the details of the person who you are buying the course for (they do not need to be an existing user of this site).

The purchasor will receive an email showing that their payment was successful.

How do I access a course that has been bought for me?

When someone purchases a course for another person, one of the following scenarios will happen:

If the course recipient already has an account on this website (events.graphisoftus.com):

  1. The user will receive an email notifying them that a course has been purchased for them, and that they can access it immediately
  2. The user will see the course listed in their My Profile area along with any other On-Demand courses they have purchased.

If the course recipient does not have an account on this website (events.graphisoftus.com):

  1. The user will receive an email notifying them that a course has been purchased for them, and that site login details will be emailed separately
  2. The user will receive a separate email containing their site username and a link to the login area (https://events.graphisoftus.com/my-account/)
  3. NOTE: The user will need to create their password here.
Can I purchase a Remote Learning (Live) session for another user?

Yes. When you purchase a Live Remote Learning course you will see a ‘Ticket’ pop-up window where you can enter the details of a different person to attend the course.

The recipient of the course will receive an email containing time and date for the session, along with the GoToTraining link for the session. They will also receive two more reminder emails containing this information – one week and one day before the session runs.

03. AIA LU FAQs

How do I receive Learning Unit Credit for my course?

I cannot see an On-Demand course on my AIA transcript?
