healthLearn is funded by the Te Waipounamu/South Island region, and is targeted to South Island healthcare staff.
If you would like to explore e-learning in health - your local District should have their own e-learning system, so please contact them directly.

Please note that using allowing another person to utilise your healthLearn account to complete an assessment is a breach of DHB policy, and may result in loss of access to the healthLearn system and/or misconduct or disciplinary proceedings. This action is seen as fraudulently undertaking an assessment or educational activity on behalf of another staff member.  

To attend a face to face (in person) session, you will need to book yourself into the day and session of your choice. There are a series of short video below showing how to do this.

Before you book yourself into a session, you need to enrol in the course itself. There may be some pre-course/session activities that you need to complete before being able to book yourself into a session.

If you have problems, please contact one of your educators, or your local SuperUser for assistance.

A Certification is a course - or collection of courses that are repeating ie. expire at a pre-set time and need to be repeated after the certification is due.

An example of a certification could be level 2 CPR revalidation

To get the initial CPR endorsement you would need to complete the following courses

1. CPR theory - Course 1
2. CPR practical session (face 2 face session) - Course 2

Then every 12 months - to keep your CPR endorsement valid, you will need to repeat course 2 - the CPR practical session. If the session is not completed in time - then the CPR endorsement expires. Reminders are sent out automatically to prompt people when it is now time to complete the required course again.

Please note: You cannot complete a Certification early, as this is counted as revision and not a new attempt.

A course is a stand alone learning experience. It may be an individual learning item - or part of a collection of courses (see what is a programme and what is a certification).

Once a person enrols in a course - your record of learning is updated to "in progress". When the course is completed, the record of learning is updated automatically to "completed".

2. Flower identification
3. How to use fertiliser
4. Compost management

Once all the courses have been completed, then you have 'passed' the program.

Step 3: Click on the Programs Tab and then click the "add programs" button

Step 4: Using the expandable menu (click the + symbol to expand the menu) locate the programme you want to enrol into

Step 5: Click the 'save' button

2. In the Program catalogue which is in the programs category (Uder Find Learning in the main menu)
