Understanding eCPD® platform reliability

eCPD® is built to be robust and intuitive, cover everything from course enrolment and CEU tracking to certificate generation. Most users complete their learning journeys with no disruptions. However, small factors like browser settings or personal device configurations can sometimes create obstacles. Fortunately, resolving these issues is straightforward with the right guidance.

These basic checks address most minor concerns and ensure a smooth learning experience from start to finish.

Enjoying full eCPD browser compatibility

Mobile device guidance

Many users successfully use their phones or tablets to read eCPD® courses and answer questions. However, for the best experience, especially when purchasing a membership, we strongly recommend using a desktop computer to ensure full functionality and a smoother process.

Quickly accessing eCPD reading materials

Pop-up blockers

Sometimes, pop-up blockers can prevent course resources from opening in new windows or tabs. If you click a link for eCPD reading materials and nothing opens, simply add healthcare-ecpd.co.za to your browser’s pop-up exceptions list.

Easy PDF viewing

If a course PDF doesn’t appear right away after enabling pop-ups, try refreshing the page or ensuring you have a PDF viewer installed or enabled in your browser. Most browser’s built-in viewers should handle most files with ease. If you’re using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm firewall settings allow PDF access.

Advanced tips for a flawless learning experience

JavaScript and extensions

Modern online learning relies on JavaScript for quizzes, submissions, and certificates. Make sure JavaScript is enabled in your browser and turn off any extensions if you notice any display issues.
