Some users have reported not being able to obtain their course certificate.

If this is the case, please contact the course tutor.

Course tutors (or the administrator to contact) are always listed on the course page in healthLearn.

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.

This feature integrates a Zoom link url into the session details for an online only course.
It can also be incorporated with an existing Room for a face to face meeting with virtual participants.

Learner: at the time of the event on the event page (or 10 mins prior) the Learner will see a button to ‘Join now’, the Zoom or MS Teams application should then open

Facilitator: at the time of the event on the event page (or 10 mins prior) the Facilitator will see a button to ‘Host Meeting’, the Zoom or MS Teams application should then open

If you are interested in developing a new course, you can submit an online request.

healthLearn has the privilege of hosting courses for National, Regional, District and Topic requirements.

When you see a Course tile on our 'Find Learning' or homepage, here's how to know which category the course belongs to.

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".

1. Click on 'My Bookings'
2. Click on the course you wish to cancel (this will take you to the course page)
3. Click on 'View all sessions'
   
4. Find your session, click 'Cancel booking' and then follow the prompts

If you cannot cancel your booking yourself this may be because you have missed the course cancellation cutoff. In this case, please contact the course tutor listed on the course page.

The content creation toolkit outlines how content is developed and maintained in the healthLearn LMS

What is a toolkit?

A toolkit (or style manual) is a formal set of standards used for the writing, structure and layout of courses and content on healthLearn.The purpose of this toolkit is to provide uniformity in layout and style in formatting a course. 

When constructing a course, or building content in healthLearn, it is important to ensure that your work aligns to the healthLearn style guide, so that users of your course can locate essential information easily, and that all areas of your course are familiar and easier to use.

The information is presented in three sections.

1.  E-Learning approval process  (how to start the process to get your course online)
2. Content Development (how to develop online learning)  
3. Making it live (how to get course set up and live on a course/programme page)
4. Face to face E Learning Approval

Courses have a strict naming convention

(Main topic) (Sub topic) (Other descriptor)

This means that a course would be named as follows

Blood Administration – An Introduction (instead of “an introduction to blood administration”)

Cannulation – Peripheral Insertion Workshop (instead of “workshop to insert a peripheral cannula”)

Course Codes

To assist with organising and searching for specific courses, we have adopted the following course code naming convention.

(Main Course Location – 2 letters) (Course primary sub-type – 2 letters) (Numerical Code – 3 numbers)

For the course called Mental Health Rapid Assessment Framework which is run in the West Coast

There are some courses in healthLearn which can be repeated. Below is a list of these courses - and the timeframes that they can be completed.

There are two ways a course can be repeated. 

1. Certification - The course does not change, however your results from a previous attempt are cleared at a set timeframe, which then allows you to access the course and complete it again. Records of each certification are displayed in your Record of Learning (Certifications)
2. Repeating Course - The course is set to duplicate itself at a set time period. The course copies itself automatically, and then archives the old course. This means that it is a new course and will be recorded as another course in your record of learning. You will not be able to access the old course however once the course is duplicated.
