Throughout the year, we will be making it easier for you to access your RLSS UK qualifications, courses, resources and membership details, as we migrate into our new online management system, tahdah. 

To make sure that you have time to get used to the new system, before you want to use it to manage or book on to your courses, we’ll firstly send you access to set-up your account so you can explore how it works. Then, we’ll add the course management system so that you can also create and book onto any of our courses.

There will be a dedicated support team ready to help on ‘phone, email and instant messenger, just in case you have any questions.

Further information about the new services and the transition period

Using the new online system for coursesThe new system will allow you to manage your courses online, from registering and advertising, through to submitting the results for certification. You will also be able to order your course resources (candidate packs) directly from tahdah. 

ResourcesWhilst you get used to using your new tahdah account, the Trainer resources and updates will continue to be available, in your RLSS Direct account. Soon, these will also be available in your tahdah account, so that everything you need is in one place. 

Course FinderWhilst we transition to the new system, both the current and the new Course Finder (in tahdah) will be available, with simple signposting between the sites to make sure that everyone looking for a course, can find one.

There is no rushIf you would prefer a little more time to get used to the new online system before using it fully, you can continue to register courses on the current RLSS Direct Course Finder, purchase candidate packs from RLSS Direct (until 30 Jun) and send completed assessment forms to RLSS UK for certification (until 31 Dec). 

There are a lot of advantages get started using the online system sooner rather than later, such as reducing your paperwork to almost nothing and your candidates getting their certification within hours ,instead of weeks. So please remember that there is support on the ‘phone, email,and instant message, to help you to make the most of all the new services.

Please note: if you purchase candidate packs with paper assessment forms, you will not be able to submit for candidates certification online (you’ll have to post the forms to us). To use the online system to submit your candidates, you will need to purchase your candidate packs from within tahdah.
