Internal vs. External Learners
Learners are individuals who have the ability to complete trainings inside of the LMS in general. In GA@WORK Learning, we have two types of Learners:
- Internal Learners: All State of Georgia employees with a worker account in the GA@WORK system. State employees will have the Learner role by default and will be able to consume content in GA@WORK Learning.
- External Learners: All state and non-state employees/affiliates who do not have a worker account in the GA@WORK system. Learners who do not have a worker account in GA@WORK will need to create an External Learner account before they can consume content in GA@WORK Learning. Visit our External Learners page to learn more.
External Learners
Learners who are not State employees – and therefore do not have a GA@WORK account – but are associated with certain Affiliations and need to take courses and/or trainings inside of GA@WORK are considered External Learners. The External Learner Registration Application (ELRA) allows these individuals to create external learner accounts within GA@WORK.

The ELRA is designed for external learners who need access to GA@WORK Learning. Through this application, external learners can self-register, create their GA@WORK Learning account, and manage key functions such as logging in, updating their profile, or recovering their username and password. The ELRA serves as the primary entry point for external learners seeking to participate in training within GA@WORK Learning.
How to Get Started
- Register: Go to the ELRA app and complete the ‘New Users’ registration process to create your External Learner account in GA@WORK Learning. External Learners, who were in the Legacy LMS (DOAS LMS), will have to activate their account from the ELRA app.
- Log In: Always use the ELRA app to log in to your account.
- Manage Your Account: Use the ELRA app to update your profile.
NOTE: If you are an Internal Learner, please DO NOT access the above link. Log in through GA@WORK Learning instead.
