Can I leave a program half way through and return to complete it?
Yes, the site keeps track of where you left off in a program. If you leave the program, log out of the site and come back later (at any time), once you enter the program you will be taken straight back to where you left off.
The program I am looking for is no longer listed- where did it go?
Programs are available on our site for approximately 12 months. This is the length of time for which they are accredited by their accrediting bodies. If you desire access to program content after the program expiry date, we recommend that you download the PDF version of the course content, located on the “Main” page of each program.

Once a program has expired it can no longer be accessed. The expiry date of a program is available on the main page, below the accreditation information. All accreditation requirements must be met before this date.

I’ve changed the site language from English to my preferred language but not everything has been translated. How can I fix this?
