eTrainer - Top 10 Tips
1. Preparation
There are 16 questions in the Eligiblity Form. Some of these require the upload of supporting documentation. Take time to familiarise yourself with the questions in the form before completing it.
Have all necessary uploads saved somewhere easy for you to locate on your computer. You will need to download the CPD template from the link in Question 4 for the CPD upload. There is also a link on the same question (press ‘guidance notes’) which acts as a guide for the required CPD documentation.
2. Save your progress
The eligibilty/application window is open for 3 weeks. You do not need to complete the form in one setting. Scroll to the bottom of the form and 'save'. You can then logout and come back later. It is a good idea to save your progress regularly just in case you get called away unexpectedly from your computer.
3. Time Out
To protect your details, particularly if you are accessing the tool from a shared computer, eTrainer will automatically log you out after 24 minutes of inactivity. It will also log you out if you decide to access it from another browser. This is to protect your data. Please save regularly.
4. Answer all the questions
Sometimes the answer might be Not Applicable - so please select that option - eTrainer will not allow you to submit your Eligibilty/Application form until all mandatory questions, including uploaded documents, are present
5. Registration
Existing trainers will already be registered on eTrainer. If you are new then simply register. You will receive a confirmation email. You should be able to click on link in that email to activate your eTrainer account. Some email clients might strip the link from that email - in this instance please copy the link and paste it directly into the address bar of your web browser and enter. This will activate your account and you can then login with your email address and the password that you set when registering.
6. Passwords
If you cannot remember your password please go to the forgotten password area and enter your email address and complete the Captcha field - note, sometimes the Captcha image can be hard to read - you can refresh these using the little refresh icon until you find one that is clearly legible.
7. Question 7.
You will need to answer yes or no to either Part A or Part B. The part you do not answer will require you to mark N/A
8. Question 9.
Feel free to choose whatever format you want in completing the hours in the proposed training practice. However, do please be consistent and make it clear.
9. Timeliness
Please allow yourself time to complete the form. Familiarise itself and if necessary contact should you need clarification about any of the questions.
10. Review and Submission
Your submission is final and your eligibility to be a Trainer is dependent on the answers you give. Take time to review your answers before submitting.
