Course Work:

1. Once you register for NRP through the Cooper registration site (enrollware.com), you will be entered into the New NRP Learning Platform. 

2. You will receive an email from the no-reply@nrplearningplatform.com site to create an account and be assigned an NRP Global ID. Once this is completed, your registration will then be completed.
