As a Childcare.co.uk gold member, I have signed up for the six free courses offered by EduCare. Thank you Richard for this :thumbsup:
Went to start one this morning and after pressing start, I get a 'please wait' message and although I waited patiently :) nothing else happened.
I have emailed EduCare rather than Richard as I assume its a problem their end but just wondered if anyone else had this problem or just me?
I had my concentration head on and everything :D

I have done the safeguarding one this week. Didn't take too long, and was very simple.
Recommend.
Ps . Not sure how you managed it Richard, but thanks

I did the Food Hygiene one last week but I didn't have any problems. Hopefully they will come back to you with an answer soon.
Highly recommended from me too:thumbsup:

I'm saving up for gold membership! Why does childcare.co.uk switch between free to contact others and then extremely not free the next? Confusing!

Unless Im mistaken you have always had to pay to contact.
You can message someone back if they are a gold members and contacted you :thumbsup:

Only those with gold membership can initiate a conversation (parent or caregiver). A free member is allowed to reply once to each message received from a gold member.

Hi Richard
Its still the same, I can log in, I can see the courses but when I click Start Programme, it just says please wait but nothing else happens. Have tried starting several different courses as I was going to do them all but no luck.
I have sent an email to EduCare but no answer as yet.
Using Internet Explorer.
Trust it to just be me that has a problem :blush:
