How do I best use the homepage to find education?

Most site visitors will land on the CPDmatch homepage where you will see a search bar and 12 'category' buttons. The search bar searches the titles of all education on CPDmatch so if you have a topic in mind just enter some keywords and you'll see the results appear. There is no need to press the 'enter' button, just type and wait.

The 12 categories shown are 'top level' and this is how we group education so it can be easily found. When you click on these buttons, the education shown below changes to the most recent which has been listed in that category. We call the education rectangles 'tiles' and there are several actions you can take at this point:

• Click the tile's top right bookmark tab to save the education as a favourite. Click again to deselect. You can access your favourites by clicking the circle in the top right of the page and selecting favourite education from the drop-down menu.​
• Click view details to see a description of the education along with details of the education provider. Clicking on the education provider logo takes you to their dedicated page which shows their contact details and all the education they have listed on CPDmatch.
• Clicking book/access/read/arrange now will take you straight to the webpage of the education provider.

Scrolling down further, you'll see some stats regarding the education listed. These are also shortcuts to:

• The find climate and environmental education page where you will find all the education listed on CPDmatch.
  
• The provider directory page which shows organisations with education listed on CPDmatch.
• The education listed which is free to access.
• Virtual education on-demand available to undertake now from your computer or mobile device.

After selecting all, free or on-demand education, you can then apply or change filters to narrow down your search:

• For subjects, click the downward arrows on the right to see the next level categories so you can really focus your search.
• On-site education defaults to global but you can change to focus on a single country.
• You can select to just show education which is free to undertake.
• Move the date slider into the future if you have any restrictions on when you can attend scheduled events.
• You can sort education by featured, soonest (to occur) or newest (listed on CPDmatch).

If you have registered as a user on CPDmatch, you will then see an option to view your search search. This enables you to change your subjects of interest which is what we use to match you with education - that's the match in CPDmatch.

We do have one favour to ask at this point and that is - if you come across education you think should be on CPDmatch, copy the website address (URL) and send it to us using the submit URL function you'll find on the homepage. We can then get it listed for others to find.

Thank you and if you have questions, comments or problem, please contact us.
