If you school has paid for a CPD Plan, the first thing to ensure is that you have sent us the staff registration file. If you have not done so and are unsure of how to access it please email hello@myotandme.com including your school's name.

If you have sent us the registration file, search your email inbox for account activation emails from My OT & Me. If no emails are found, please email hello@myotandme.com including your school's name and we will look into it.

If the link in your account activation email has expired, please CLICK HERE.

You will have access for 12 months

There is about 20 hours of content over the 6 modules. Once 80% is complete we can issue your certificate

Once you have completed the course, contact us at hello@myotandme.com and we will verify completion and issue your cert. Once 80% is complete we can issue it.

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.
