All training for foster carers and adopters will be in the "Fostering & Adoption Library". Please ensure you have set up your account correctly (see Doc 1 ‘New User’) as you will not have access to LMS until your account has been authorised.
You will see this page once you have logged in:
Search for training
Type a keyword into "Find Learning" (all fostering and adoption training starts with the prefix as below). Check the training programme for the correct title of the training.
"FA:" followed by the course name e.g. "FA: Bullying"
To only search for courses for fostering and adoption, please type "FA:" into the search bar or ‘browse all’.
For virtual (Teams/Zoom) and classroom training, always choose "calendar view" to ensure you select the correct date. You do not need to do this for e-learning.
To view the dates the classroom courses are on, select "See Offerings".
To register for training, click on "Register Now" under the date of the course you would like to attend.
You will then see this screen Registration:
Once you have confirmed the booking, you will see the screen below. You can click "Back" above "Registration" which will take you back to book more courses if you wish.
Joining instructions
You will receive an email from "Fostering Training" with links to access the training via Zoom or Teams nearer to the date. LMS is used to book on to training only; it does not send out joining instructions.
If you book on to training less than 24 hours prior to the date, please contact the training officer to ensure you are sent joining instructions with links to access the training.
If you require any support, please email fostering.training@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk.
Note: Please do not email Learning & Development for any training queries as they do not manage the training for fostering and adoption.
