How It Works

Simple to access. Serious about learning.

From registration to certificate — here's how Dragonfly CPD works for learners and organisations.

Register with your code

Staff use their organisation's registration code to create an account — automatically linked to the right pathways and seat allocation.

Learn at your own pace

Work through Foundation, Applied and Toolbox modules on any device. Progress saves automatically. No fixed sessions or room bookings.

Applied — test your judgement

Realistic scenarios, not simple recall. Get detailed feedback when you're wrong, then try again. This is where real learning happens.

Toolbox stays with you

Practical tools and techniques from every pathway — permanently accessible in your account. Tick them off as you use them in real practice.

Certificate issued

Complete a pathway and a named certificate is generated automatically. CPD hours logged. Ready for Ofsted, supervision or your professional body.

Manager sees everything

The manager dashboard shows team completion in real time. No chasing certificates. No spreadsheets. One clear compliance view.

Understanding the Model

Why three tiers?

Most CPD stops at Foundation. Dragonfly CPD takes you further — into the moments where knowledge has to become judgement, and judgement has to become habit.

Tier 1

Foundation

  • Establishes the conceptual framework
  • Structured, module-by-module progress
  • CPD hours tracked automatically
  • Certificate on completion
Tier 2

Applied

  • Scenarios drawn from real practice
  • Tests decision-making under pressure
  • Feedback explains why — not just what
  • Retry until you get it — learn from failure
Tier 3

Toolbox

  • Practical tools, prompts and templates
  • Tick off tools as you use them
  • Permanent access — revisit any time
  • Bridges learning and live practice
