Refresher training for OV's with Grandfather rights

We have had a number of requests from OVs who have been granted Grandfather rights who still wish to do the full OCQ(V) online training programme. As such we have agreed with APHA that we will make this training available for a limited time, at a special price, to existing Grandfather Rights holders only.

In order to access the refresher training, please log in to your personal training dashboard via www.improve-ov.com. Please use your registered email address as your log in ID. You were sent a password at registration but this can be requested again if required.

You may review your OCQ(V)s on the overview page from which you can then enrol for the relevant ‘Refresher Training’. Click on the ‘Details’ blue box on the right hand side, and then 'Enrol for online learning' where it says ‘Access online refresher training’. 

Please note that this refresher training does not include pre and post course questions or final exam. You will receive access to the full online training course which will be available for one year after enrolment. As there is no exam, studying these courses will not affect your current OV status or revalidation date. You will be able to download a certificate of completion for your CPD records and you can then count this as relevant CPD towards your OCQ(V) revalidation, which will be due between March 31 2017 and March 31 2019, depending on the OCQ(V). (See revalidation page for further info.)

Please note this is online training only and the OCQ(V) TT refresher training does not include a practical assessment.

Please also note the OCQ(V) ES was made available for free for one year from registration, for all those who registered under Grandfather rights before March 31st 2015.
