We have completely revamped GoLearning on the Moodle 2.0 platform. This allows us to eventually provide you with courses containing media, videos, etc. One of the immediate benefits is that after completing a course and obtaining the required 60% in the quiz, a printable CPD certificate is unlocked!
Due to the new platform you may find that you can no longer log in with your old user name and/or password.
Please use the “Forgotten your username or password?” function on the login page.
If you previously had a space in your user name i.e. Joe Bloggs you will need to contact us so that we can change it to JoeBloggs. The new system unfortunately does not allow any spaces in user names.
We are sorry for this inconvenience but we are quite sure that you will appreciate the improvements to the site once you are logged in.
OUR LATEST COURSE IS A MUST DO!
We have added our first new-style CPD course which not only provides you with 2,5 hours of Category 1 CPD resources and a further 4,5 hours of activities in fulfillment of your Category 2 requirements. It also includes free mind mapping software!
The course in Mind Mapping is essential for participation in our LUNCHTIME CPD SERIES which kicks off at the beginning of 2012. The lunchtime CPD series allows participants to do short hour-long courses during their lunch breaks. Participate and within 10 months you will have satisfied your Category 1 requirements for the year!
Each lunchtime CPD course provides 1 hour of CPD category 1 training and a further 1,5 hours of category 2 activities. Not only can you now fulfill your CPD requirements during your lunch break but we also assist you in accumulating those category 2 hours. You no longer need to scratch your head when filling in your CPD-return! It’s all taken care of by doing LUNCHTIME CPD.
Why is the mind mapping course essential to the new series? We provide you with a simple tool with which to summarise the lunchtime CPD tutorial and expand on it with the knowledge gained doing the category 2 activities. Keeping these mind maps provides you with easy proof that you fully complied with the CPD requirements should you be audited.
