NEW ATA TRAINER PORTAL IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

As you know, KRI is transitioning all data from the current Trainer Portal into the new ATA Trainer Portal on ZOHO CRM. We are now close to completing the migration of all records. This means we are in a short “bridge phase.” At this time, the only task trainers must continue to do in the old portal is the submission of new contracts. Please give special attention to the following instructions:

• Do NOT enter any student lists into the old portal. Updated contact list templates  L1 program, L2 program, and 21 Stages program are already available.
• Do NOT update certification status in the old portal. Contact ATA Admin if needed.
• Submit all certificate requests by email directly to the ATA Administrator.
• Contact the ATA Admin to start new ATA Applications or to complete the ones currently in progress.

We will keep you posted! Contact [email protected] if you have questions.
