Employees and Affiliates

A Training Central account is automatically created within 48 hours after your first day of work, contract, or affiliation (may take longer if the hiring/affiliation paperwork has not been entered into Banner HR or Human Resource Services is experiencing high-hire times). An active myNMSU account is also required to log into the system.

Affiliates: In order to participate in NMSU-sponsored activities or work in NMSU facilities, you must work with your NMSU contact to complete all required affiliation paperwork. 

Note: If it’s been more than 48 hours since your first day of work and you are still unable to log in, talk to your hiring manager and verify your employment information is in Banner. Email trainingcentral@nmsu.edu if you are active in Banner and unable to log into Training Central.

Retirees

NMSU retirees who continue to stay active in NMSU-sponsored activities and facilities as non-employees are eligible to take training in Training Central. This includes participating in training sponsored by the Teaching Academy, Digital Learning, or other professional development training that is not related to employment at NMSU. To set up your Training Central account, complete the Student/Retiree Access Request Form. Retiree Training Central accounts are active for 90 days. If you need Training Central access after the 90-day timeframe, fill out a new Internal Access Request Form.

Note: Please only submit the form once. This is a manual process and may take up to 24 hours to complete, excluding weekends and holidays. If you have questions or concerns, please contact trainingcentral@nmsu.edu.

Training Central is NMSU’s employee training system. A limited selection of training opportunities are available for contractors, volunteers, and others with ties to NMSU who do not have an Aggie ID or an NMSU email address. These trainings can be accessed by creating a Training Central Guest Account.

Note: Anyone with an active Aggie ID and NMSU email address MUST NOT create a guest account. Please refer to the appropriate category above for more information about your account options. If you are unsure whether your Aggie ID or NMSU email address is active, please submit a Student/Retiree Access Request Form for further review.
