# Inviting a Candidate to Create an Account

## New candidate profile creations help your learners get started on their journey early, even before providing any of NHA's learning resources. Learn how to get those invitations started with this new resource.

#### **Before starting, please confirm your institution/organization is using NHA's platform for your learning.  For more help on this, [click here](https://knowledge.nhanow.com/how-to-access-nha-materials-from-a-learning-management-system-lms?hsLang=en). **

### Step 1

Log into your administrative account at [NHANOW.com](https://www.nhanow.com)

### Step 2

Locate the **Candidates** section on the left-hand side and select **Send Account Invites **

### **Step 3**

Type in the candidate email addresses for their logins 

- **Best Practice** is to use personal (long-term) emails
- You can drag and drop a list from an excel spreadsheet
- Emails need to be separated by a comma

### Step 4

Select **Check Addresses** to audit the existing NHA candidate database 

- Note the icons listed next to each email and in the key above
- Only candidates who have **not yet created an account** will receive an invitation

### Step 5

Press **Send Invitations** and an email will be sent to those who have not yet created an account 

- Best Practice: inform your candidate to monitor their inbox and junk mail for their invitation

![How to invite a candidate to create their account-3-11](https://knowledge.nhanow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/How%20to%20invite%20a%20candidate%20to%20create%20their%20account-3-11.png?width=164&height=45&name=How%20to%20invite%20a%20candidate%20to%20create%20their%20account-3-11.png)

*\*Note: Sending an account creation request will **not** add a candidate to any NHA materials or rosters.*
