Learning & Courses
Use My Learning, understand lesson screens, video gates, quiz availability, and current/grace/older-cycle CPD wording.
Learning & Courses
Use My Learning when you want a SOLAS view of your enrolled courses, progress, and next course actions without relying on default LearnDash screens.
What My Learning shows
- courses you can continue now
- courses that are ready to start
- courses already completed or where a structured SOLAS CPD requirement has already been achieved
- simple progress and status language
My Learning is designed to be easier to understand than raw lesson or step counts.
CPD learning and cycle rules
Some SOLAS learning routes are tied to CPD cycle requirements rather than a need to complete every webinar inside a LearnDash course.
That means the page may show wording like:
Current cycleGrace periodStructured SOLAS CPD windowOlder cycle: unstructured CPDX additional learning items are still available
This is intentional.
Current-cycle learning, and learning completed during that cycle's grace period, can count toward the SOLAS-delivered structured CPD minimum.
Older-cycle learning remains available for reference and additional CPD. If you complete older-cycle SOLAS CPD learning now, it is recorded as unstructured SOLAS-delivered CPD using the lesson's configured CPD hours. It does not count toward the current 2-hour SOLAS-delivered structured minimum.
If the minimum SOLAS-delivered requirement for your current cycle has already been met, the page should not imply that you must complete every remaining lesson just because the LearnDash course still contains more content.
Course progress
Where SOLAS can apply current-cycle CPD rules, the visible progress wording may reflect:
- required SOLAS-delivered hours completed
- hours still needed for the current cycle
- additional optional learning still available
- whether older learning will be recorded as unstructured
For other learning routes, progress may still reflect ordinary course progress such as:
- steps completed
- completion percentage
- completed vs ready to start
Course overview pages
Each course card can open a SOLAS-owned course overview page. That page is there to explain:
- what the course is for
- what status it is in
- whether your current-cycle or grace-period requirement is already met
- whether the course is an older cycle that will now record as unstructured CPD
- what to do next
From there you can still open the underlying course content itself.
Lesson videos, quizzes, and live attendance
LearnDash still controls lesson video gating, quiz availability, and completion state underneath the SOLAS page wrapper.
If a lesson setting requires the video to be watched before the quiz is available, the SOLAS wrapper should respect that setting. The quiz may be listed but should only become the next action once LearnDash says it is available.
If SOLAS has imported attendance from the live Microsoft Teams event and linked it to the LearnDash lesson, that attendance can mark the lesson complete. In that case, the learning screens should not repeatedly ask you to complete the quiz for the same CPD record.
If something looks wrong
Check these first:
- Are you logged into the correct SOLAS account?
- Is the course part of your current membership, CPD cycle, grace period, or education term?
- Has your structured SOLAS CPD requirement already been met elsewhere, making the remaining learning optional?
- Are you expecting a certificate or completion state that depends on another part of the CPD workflow?
If a course appears missing or the status looks wrong, compare what you see in:
