How do I update my profile?

If learning events are oversubscribed, we will also review this information to help us allocate remaining places.

You can update your user profile at any time by logging in and clicking on Options and Settings under the Links tile.

Your contact details will be used to send you a course evaluation and certificate of attendance. We also need to be able to contact you if a course is cancelled.

Do I need to prepare in advance?
