Unfortunately, not all courses that were on eLearning will be moved to the new platform, as some of the content is no longer current and has already been retired.

This means that some courses purchased and completed post April 2021 fall into this category and will not earn you CPD points for this current year.

In this instance, we will substitute for free, any non-current courses that you may have bought that are partially or fully completed.
