To create a membership for an officer in PAVTN.net specific profile information is needed.
- VALID email address (this will be used as login information for PAVTN.net, as well as a line of communication regarding course completion)
- First Name
- Last Name
- MPOETC number
It is recommended that the first name, last name and MPOETC number provided match what is contained in the MPOETC TACS exactly. PAVTN.net will be unable to transfer grades to the MPOETC system if this data does not match.
If your department is not covered by ACT 120 and you don’t have MO#s, you need the approval from MPOETC. However, you can be enrolled in all the other non-MPOETC courses. To obtain MPOETC approval you must submit your oath of office to: [email protected]

PAVTN transfers completed course credits to TACS automatically.
If you are a MPOETC officer, upon completing a MPOETC approved course your completed course credits will automatically be transferred to the TACS system. Credits will be placed in a queue for transfer, so TACS may not show them instantly. Credits should be updated within 24 hours.
In order to properly save your eLearning records, when you reach the end of a module (the last screen) you must click the X in the circle at the top right corner of the eLearning module frame. Closing modules in this way ensures that your records are saved properly to the system. If an error occurs in saving your record, an error window will display a message that will provide details about the error.
The Forgot Password function sends an email from our system to the email address that we have on record. The email includes a link to reset your password. The link is active for one (1) hour from the time it is sent.
If you complete the Forgot Password action, but do not receive an email the message may have been stopped by a spam filter. We recommend contacting your IT department and asking them to have the following email addresses placed on the email whitelist: [email protected].
Once these emails have been whitelisted with your IT department you will be able to receive messages from PAVTN.net. You can then use the Forgot Password function again to receive the message.
