What happens next: Once you complete all the items in a learning course, the status automatically changes to completed and this learning will no longer appear on ‘the learning you need’ section of your overview page.
If the learning you want to complete doesn't appear on your overview page, you'll first need to assign a skill to your profile.
If the learning you need to complete is marked as cancelled, please wait a week and check if it becomes available.
We're experiencing some issues when learning showing as cancelled is preventing volunteers from enrolling and completing the course.
We are running a weekly process to clear learning cancellations. If after a week you still can't access it, contact Support Centre.
