How can we help?
Answers about accounts, enrolment, sessions, certificates and CEUs.
Getting started
How do I create an EPA eCPD account?
Press Sign up, fill in the form and confirm your email address with the link we send you. Then log in with your username and password.
I did not receive the confirmation email
Check your Spam or Junk folder first. If it is not there after 30 minutes, contact us (see "Still need help?" below) with the email address you used.
Can I use eCPD on my phone?
Yes. eCPD works in the browser of any smartphone. In Chrome you can also choose "Add to Home screen" to open it like an app.
Enrolment and payment
How do I enrol in a course?
Open Courses, choose a course, check the fee and press the enrol button. Courses with a fee open after your payment is confirmed.
I paid, but the course is not open yet
Your request waits for the payment to be matched. This is usually done within working days. If it takes longer, send us your name, the course and the payment reference.
Do EPA members pay less?
Yes. Active EPA members pay the member fee. Your membership comes from the EPA Membership portal; register or renew there and eCPD updates automatically.
Learning
Why can I not open the next session?
Sessions open in order. Finish the session you are in and press Submit on its last page (the summary page). The next session opens straight away.
When is a session complete?
When you have gone through it and pressed Submit on the summary page at the end. Only opening a session does not complete it.
How do open (essay) questions work?
Type your answer (at least the number of characters shown) and press Submit answer. You will see "Your answer has been submitted" and, when there is one, a sample answer to compare with.
What is the pass mark?
Each course assessment shows its pass mark (usually 75%). If you score below it you can review the sessions and try again.
How do live sessions work?
Your teacher schedules them; you get a message and a reminder 1 hour before. Open the live session activity in the course: it opens 15 minutes before the start and your joining is recorded as attendance.
Certificates and CEUs
How do I get my certificate?
Complete all sessions, pass the course assessment and fill in the course evaluation. The certificate then opens in the course and appears in My certificates.
How can an employer check my certificate?
Every certificate has a code (EPA-CPD-…) and a QR code. Anyone can check it on the certificate verification page.
Where can I see all my CEUs?
On your Dashboard (My CPD record) and on My CPD licence cycle, which also shows how many CEUs you still need before licence renewal. Download your CPD transcript (PDF) for the licensing authority.
Account and profile
I forgot my password
Use Forgotten your username or password?. We email you a link to choose a new password.
How do I change my name or email?
For EPA members, name and email come from the Membership portal: change them there and eCPD updates. Others can change them in their profile (Edit profile).
How do I get reminders on Telegram?
Open Connect Telegram and follow the steps. You then get approvals, reminders and certificates in Telegram.
