Create an Account and Access Your Course via Blackboard Training and Development Manager
麻豆精品's (TDM) platform provides access to non-credit courses and programs that are offered in 麻豆精品's instance of Blackboard. You can create an account, browse the public catalog of courses, enroll in courses, access courses, and view your progress and history all from the same system.
The account creation process is intended for users who are not affiliated with 麻豆精品 and do not have 麻豆精品 credentials (i.e., an A-ID or Z-ID). The instructions below provide detailed information for creating an account, accessing TDM, and enrolling and participating in a TDM catalog course. Individuals with an A-ID or Z-ID can use the option to log in with their 麻豆精品 AccountID to enroll in a TDM catalog course.
