Read LessHello and Welcome to Horizon Medical Education! This explains how to navigate the course player.
Once you have enrolled you will see the course player. On the left, you can see all the sections containing the learning in the module.
You can open and close them and click on individual sections to view them.
The courses are audio modules accompanied by notes. It plays automatically but you can also press play to start or pause the recording.
The audio can be downloaded by selecting the button on the top right, so you can listen to it offline later.
When you are finished listening, you can select the blue button at the bottom of the section to mark it complete and then continue.
There are other options in this part of the player. By using the Discussion tab, you can join in discussions, ask questions, leave a post or reply to a thread to join the conversation.
Each audio module is followed by a quiz to help you test your learning and then the all-important feedback section.
Your overall progress in the course is in the top left of the page and you can get back to your dashboard and account settings there too.
When you've finished each course, you will be able to receive your certificate automatically. If you are using a smart phone, click the top left-hand corner to receive you certificate.
On a computer, just click on the 'get your certificate' button in the top left-hand corner.
You are now ready to start your courses! Happy Learning!
Not all courses are available all of the time. We work hard to keep everything up to date so we might be updating information or changing something. The free courses are marked and if you want to access any other courses drop us an email and we'll be happy to help.
In order to get a certificate you need to complete every section of the course (100% in the progress bar at the top left hand corner). You may need to go back and check that you have clicked on the box "complete and continue" at the end of each section.
The notes for each module are downloadable as a pdf at the end of each course. Just click the download icon.
No, there is a resource library which you can access anytime. This contains useful information and we hope to create a separate section for your own guidelines. Let us know if you like this.
The courses are designed to provide accredited CPD to clinicians who may need that for their registration so the certificate is valid for a year; it dates the learning and testing to meet those, often annual, requirements.
Also we update our courses so they contain the best evidence based training at that time. This doesn't mean that the learning has no value after a year, we hope that you will be applying it in practice for many years to come. We will continue to add new courses periodically so you will always have new things to learn and new certificates.
To download the audio module, click the box with an arrow pointing down. This is in the top right-hand corner on the audio lesson page next to the discussion tab.
