Welcome to CPDmatch version 2

So, what’s new for providers of education……

1.       Promote: This ‘pins’ your advert to the top of the search results and our homepage for 1 week. A useful tool for improving visibility if your event is undersubscribed, you have applied a price-drop or added extra places.

The purple  promote button  can be found when you click on your event tiles, the dashboard, organiser course admin page or when editing an event. If an event is already promoted, you will not see the button!

2.       A quick-link to list education can now be found when clicking on the top-right circle        .

3.       The Organiser Course Admin header includes quick links to list new and to promote events and now shows clearly whether an event is public, private or draft.

4.       When listing an event, the CPD type categories have been simplified:

Education Type:

On-site (= in person) or virtual (= accessed through a computer or mobile device).

Education Sub Type:

Scheduled = attendees must be present at the specific date and time either in person (for on-site) or online (for virtual) to view and/or participate in the event.

On-Demand = attendees can access the education between the dates set by you on listing. For virtual, this is online and for on-site, an arrangement is made between you the provider and attendees (e.g., workplace-based training for a new piece of medical equipment).

5.       If the location of an on-site event is different to your profile address, you can now use a postcode search to speed up listing and of course, avoid typing errors.

6.       When buying push credits, the site informs you of the ‘cost’ of services such as listing, promoting or becoming a featured provider.

7.       We now have a Provider Directory; dedicated webpages where site visitors can search for a specific provider and with a single click, view your organisation details and listed events.

Links provide access to your own website, twitter page and contact email address. And all you need to qualify for inclusion is to have one or more events listed on CPDmatch but the more events you have, the greater your visibility and the more click-throughs you’ll get to your own website.

And from your dashboard, you can select to become a Featured Provider where in exchange for a small number of push credits, your organisation will be pinned to our homepage for a week and with one click, visitors will be taken to your provider page to view just your events.

We want you to have the best provider experience and are always open to suggestions which improve our services so please, email (cpdmatch@gmail.com) or call (07796 204580); we’d love to hear from you.
