      The provider can report to Age.na.s the names of those entitled to ECM credits only after the activity's closing date and in any case within 90 days from that date.
      If the activity has not yet ended (e.g., year-long FAD courses), AccMed cannot proceed with its reporting. While waiting for reporting and visibility on the Age.na.s website, the user can download their ECM certificate from the dedicated area ("My certificates") on fad.accmed.org.
      The date of credit recognition for fulfilling training obligations is, for each learner, the date on which they completed the ECM pathway.

    2. Where to find your participation certificates and ECM credits

      To download your participation certificates and ECM certificates, click on the following link (area "My certificates") https://fad.accmed.org/index.php?cat=attestati

    3. Credits for more than one profession

      It is not possible to earn ECM credits for a single event for multiple professions. When registering for the course, the user must declare the (accredited) profession for which they wish to obtain ECM credits.

  3. Asynchronous FAD Courses
    1. Review contents after failing the learning verification test

      If the test is not passed, Age.na.s requires reviewing the content again.
      Upon second review, the course content is unlocked, allowing direct access to the parts that need further study and/or review.

    2. Failure to pass the course after 5 attempts to pass the learning verification test

      In the case of asynchronous FAD courses, ECM regulations allow a maximum of 5 (five) attempts to pass the learning verification test. After exhausting these attempts, the course is considered not passed.

    3. Timing for completing the ECM pathway

      To complete the ECM pathway, it is necessary to consume all training content, complete the evaluation form, and take the learning verification test (if applicable) by midnight on the last day of the course.
      Subsequently, it will not be possible to complete the ECM pathway and, consequently, earn credits.

    4. Downloading Contact Log related to an FAD course

      • You cannot cancel your enrollment in completed ECM activities.
      • You cannot cancel your enrollment in ECM activities if partially completed (e.g., partial viewing of a video lecture).
