You do not need to complete a course in one session. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can leave a course and return later to continue where you left off.

Most courses follow a similar structure. You’ll begin with a self-assessment, which helps you reflect on your current knowledge and confidence in the topic. This is followed by the course content, where you’ll work through the learning materials at your own pace.

Yes. The platform is fully responsive and can be accessed on desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices, allowing you to learn wherever and whenever is most convenient for you.

You will have completed a course once you have worked through all of the learning content and successfully completed the final assessment. A pass mark of 80% is required to complete the course. When the course is complete, you will be able to download your certificate of completion.

Don’t worry if you don’t pass on your first attempt. You can retake the assessment as many times as you need. After each attempt, you’ll be able to see which answers were correct and incorrect, helping you identify areas to revisit before trying again.

All of your certificates are stored within the platform. You can view and download them from the ‘My progress’ page or from the certificates section on the homepage. You can also return to a completed course and re-download your certificate at any time.

After successfully completing a course, you can download a certificate of completion for your records. Learners are responsible for maintaining their own CPD portfolios and recording their learning in line with their professional requirements.

You can track your progress through the ‘My progress’ page. This shows the courses you are enrolled in, your completion percentage for each course and your learning history. You can also use this page to quickly return to courses you have already started.

You can revisit completed courses at any time, allowing you to refresh your knowledge, review learning materials and re-download certificates whenever needed.

Yes. The platform includes a Nursing Times community space where learners can connect, share ideas and engage in professional discussions. Each course also has its own discussion area where you can discuss course content and learn alongside other participants.

There are two ways to connect with other learners. Within each course, you can use the ‘Discuss’ tab to share thoughts and discuss topics alongside the learning content. You will also be enrolled in the course community, which you can access through the ‘Community’ area of the platform. This provides a dedicated space to connect with others studying the same course.

Yes. The course communities provide a space to discuss ideas, ask questions and learn from the experiences of others. They can be particularly useful for participatory learning activities that involve reflection, discussion and sharing perspectives with peers.
