Login instructions for condo directors WITH an existing account with the CAO
- If you do not follow these instructions, any training you complete may not be captured by the system as part of your completion record and therefore, you may have to repeat the training using a proper CAO account.
- To complete the training, please log in to your CAO account that is associated with your condo corporation. Do not create a second account to access the training. If you do, the system will not be able to automatically track whether you have completed the training.

- If you do not follow these instructions, any training you complete may not be captured by the system as part of your completion record and therefore, you may have to repeat the training using a proper CAO account.
- Please first check whether you have received an email invitation to create an account from the CAO, and if you have, follow the instructions included in the email.
- An email invitation is sent when a director is added by the condo corporation to the corporation’s profile through filing a Condo Return or a Notice of Change.
- If you cannot find the invitation email, please call the CAO to request a copy of the invitation email re-send to you.
If you have not yet received an email invitation to create an account (you have not yet been added to a corporation’s profile through the filing of a condo return or notice of change), you can create an account now in order to start the director training. However, you will need to ensure that you use the same account when redeeming the invitation code that will be emailed to you once you have been added to the corporation’s profile.
