You also have access to a number of useful items on the left hand column Most important are My Development; Advanced Search and Event Catalogue We’ll come back to searching and how the system handles booking requests in a moment. First lets look at the My Development area.

My Development is where you can manage all your contact and user details: your username, password, email address, school working at, and set up email alerts. This is a very important area and means you can tell the system where to reach you and what newly published events you want to know about. My development is where you can manage all your contact and user details: your username, password, email address, school working at, and set up email alerts. This is a very important area and means you can tell the system where to reach you and what newly published events you want to know about.

Keep your email and establishment up to date – so you don’t miss out on event confirmations, changes to event details (ie venue, time or date changes); and to ensure the correct CPD leader is reviewing your training requests. Keep your email and establishment up to date – so you don’t miss out on event confirmations, changes to event details (ie venue, time or date changes); and to ensure the correct CPD leader is reviewing your training requests. You can update your surname or personal title – ie change in personal circumstances Update your job title and which school you’re working at.

Update your User Profile - Never miss a newly published event again – turn on your email alerts and keep them up to date with subjects and audiences that match your interests and job role.

My Development is also where you can track all your CPD training: events you’re due to attend, booking status of those events, when you need to cancel an event, your training portfolio (since 2004 if you’ve been in the Poole school system that long), and events you’ve saved to look at when you have more time.

Events due to attend – You can see what training is coming up, access a map, course details and view your booking status Events attended – This is your online CPD portfolio. You can link back to any uploaded documents and download any attached certificate. Saved events – If you found an event that was interesting but didn’t have time to view. All you need to do is click the Save Event button and you can come back to the event at a later time without having to search for it.

You have three ways to find events: The Event Catalogue, the Advanced Search or the Event Calendar. You’ve got three ways to search for an event: Keep in mind that each of us thinks about data and details differently and if you set too many restrictions you may not get the search results you’re hoping for. If you know the date something is running – I like to use the calendar on the right. Every day that’s highlighted has events running, and by clicking on the date you will get a list of all the events on that date. If I don’t know the date, I like using the Advanced Search – I might know who is delivering the event or approximately when it starts, or which subject or KS I want. Again, remember to use as few restrictions as possible to start with to get the widest range of results to review. If you like to look at groupings, then use the Event Calendar.

The Event Catalogue is good if you like to look at events grouped by subject or job role

Example of an Advanced Search, one of the search results and the full details of that event.

Requesting a place on an event is very straight forward Requesting a place on an event is very straight forward. The system knows its you, just list any special requirements, review and agree the T&C and click submit. Because the system holds your training portfolio, only a CPD leader can request a place on behalf of another colleague

This link won’t work unless you have CPD leader permissions Your CPD leader will get an email to let them know you’ve requested a place on the event. If your CPD leader approves your request you can then track the event in My Development – Events Due to Attend.

My CPD leader approved my request and I can now see this in My Development in Events Due to attend. Note that I can see whether my place has been confirmed or not. When your place is confirmed you will get an email like this to let you know. Your CPD leader will also get a copy. So your email address needs to be up to date and one that is easy for you to access.
