How do I register for the Online Learning Environment (OLE) website?

Register for the RCGP OLE here.

I’ve registered on the OLE website – why can’t I access some of the courses?

All of the courses on the RCGP OLE are free to RCGP members. Some courses have a fee for non-members, who are able to purchase those courses by following the on-screen instructions on the course outline page. Alternatively, non-members can also purchase these member benefit courses (including the Essential Knowledge Updates and Challenges) via the Online learning section of the CPD area on the RCGP website.

On the All Courses page, member benefit courses are indicated by this symbol: Member Benefit

How do I login to the RCGP OLE?
