  4. Choose the type of learning: CPD, Course, Qualification, Book, Podcast, Coaching, Mentoring, Workshop or Event. Then select Add Details.

  5. Fill in the required fields, marked with an asterisk (*). They depend on the type: for a course, you need the title, provider, duration, time spent and Date Completed. You can't choose a completion date in the future.

  6. (Optional) Add an Expiry Date for learning that needs renewing, such as a first-aid certificate, and attach a certificate under Supporting Evidence. Books and podcasts don't have these fields.

  7. Select Log followed by the type, for example Log Course.

  8. Rate how useful it was and write your key takeaways, then select Submit. You need both to submit, or select Skip.

Your entry now appears first in My Profile › History, with its completion date, duration and provider.
