How do we optimise the search results?

Comments: none

CPDFind is devised to give a fair ‘crack at the whip’ to all providers. If a user types in a search term (eg behaviour) it will return first those opportunities with:

  • behaviour in the title
  • then behaviour  in the key words
  • then behaviour in any other part of the opportunity

To optimise the search results, make sure that you use your 5 key words wisely!

If you can improve on this advice, please leave a comment, thanks!

Does the CPD Team provide a service for sending emails on behalf of registered providers?

Comments: none

I’m afraid the the National CPD Team doesn’t offer such a service, our work is mainly strategic in nature at a national level. If you are thinking of an email campaign, it may not be a particularly effective way to publicise CPD as many unsolicited emails end up unread or in spam lists.  I would urge you to use CPDFind.  We have hundreds of educators visiting CPDFind every week looking for CPD opportunities.  If your opportunities are not on the system , then you may be missing potential customers.

Do you know of any mentoring schemes for CPD Providers?

Comments: none

I’m afraid at the moment I don’t think there are any out there, but what a great idea!   Our longer term plan is to build a community of providers online, who can support each other.

Can I target specific local authorities?

Comments: none

All Scottish authorities have access to CPDFind.  To restrict your provision to only a few authorities you can do this by editing page 2 of the occurrence descriptor.
