How to Turn Off CPD Notifications for a Scheme
Overview
Admins can manage how and when users are notified about Continuing Professional Development (CPD) schemes. If a particular scheme doesn't require reminders or overdue prompts, you can fully disable notifications for it.
Functionality Breakdown
When CPD notifications are disabled for a scheme:
Users enrolled in the scheme will not receive any automated email reminders.
Overdue notifications will also be suppressed.
Other schemes will remain unaffected.
This allows you to customise the learner experience based on the needs of each CPD strategy.
Pre-requisites
Admin access to the platform (requires HR, Owner, or Admin role)
At least one existing CPD scheme
Quick Start Guide
Navigate to CPD → Manage Schemes in the sidebar navigation.
Select the CPD scheme you wish to edit.
Click the Settings tab within the scheme.
Tick the checkbox labelled "Disable all notifications for this CPD scheme".
Click Save to apply changes.
💡 Tip: You can re-enable notifications at any time by unticking the checkbox and saving your changes.
