Each VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) and VEX IQ Robotics Competition (VIQRC) registered team is provided a Coach Key for accessing VEX Professional Development Plus (VEX PD+).
Finding Your Team's Coach Key
To find your team’s Coach Key, go to RobotEvents.com.
Select “Login” on the Robot Events page.
Enter the email address and password associated with your Robot Events account. Then select the "Login" button.
Don't have an account? Go here to create a RobotEvents account.
Once you have logged into your account, select “My Teams” from the account navigation.
Here you will see a list of your registered teams with their Coach Keys.
No key listed? Make sure that your team’s registration has been renewed for the current season.
Note: The Coach Key can only be activated once. If you have multiple teams, make sure to record which Key goes with each team's coach.
Entering Your Team's Coach Key
Before you can enter your team’s Coach Key to access the various VEX PD+ offerings, open pd.vex.com.
Go to pd.vex.com and select “Login.”
Login using your VEX Account.
Don’t have a VEX Account? Fill out this form to register for a VEX Account.
Then navigate back to pd.vex.com after creating your account, and log in.
Once logged in, you will see your profile information, and the VEX PD+ offerings. Because no licenses are activated, a lock icon will appear next to each option. Note that Training Courses include free Certification Courses and will remain unlocked.
Select “Activate License.”
Enter your license key that was found on Robot Events, agree to the terms of use, and select ‘Activate.’
After activating a key, your licenses will be displayed with the type and end date of the license. Your type of license is determined by the team registration.
If this coach key is associated with a VIQRC or VRC team, you will see "REC Foundation Coach" under your name, as shown in the image here.
You will now be able to select any of the Professional Development Offerings with available content for VRC or VIQRC Coaches.
