I would recommend choosing one of the School CPD plans which you can see on the website.
If you would prefer just to sign up for a specific webinar, you will need to register each teacher individually as there is no way to add multiple registrations at the same time.
If you are on the School CPD plan, your certificate will be available through your account where the recordings are available.
If you are not part of a School CPD plan, and you haven't received your certificate within 5 working days, please contact us at hello@myotandme.com with the name of the webinar you attended.
Yes, recordings are made available from Friday to Sunday following the live webinar. If you are a school, recording are available for the year when you sign up to the school CPD plan.
