FAQs
A: Your PPAI PIN number is a six-digit number that PPAI automatically assigns to you when you are registered as a PPAI member and/or registered in UPIC. This number is different from your six-digit PPAI Member number. Whereas your PPAI Member number is specific your company, the PPAI PIN number is connected to your individual record and would remain the same regardless of which company you are working for.
The PPAI PIN number is used to track all of your education credits, so it’s important that when you attend a PPAI educational event you include your PIN number on any sign-in sheets, or make sure to have your badge (which is linked to your PIN number) scanned, to ensure you receive proper credit for the event/session.
When you complete an online education session you must be logged into your account, which ensures that the correct account will receive credit for any sessions completed (following your completion of the session survey).
