In this article, we'll cover how Lessons are linked to a CPD period, an essential step for users to earn CPD points or hours upon Lesson completion. These values, set by administrators, determine the CPD credit for each learning activity.
Key points:
- If Lessons aren't linked to a CPD period, Users won't earn CPD credit for completing them
- Each Lesson within a CPD period must have a CPD point value set by an administrator for Users to receive credit
- Completed Lessons within the CPD period earn CPD credit
- Lessons without assigned CPD values won't grant corresponding CPD credit
- Lessons finished before the CPD period starts won't count toward that CPD period
