How can I get the CPD points for the videos I watched on actuview?

CPD points are automatically awarded to you as soon as you watch more than 90 % of the video. Your watch process is being tracked by the second and as soon as 90 % of the video’s length are reached, the video will be shown in the CPD Documentation in your user profile. Most associations allow actuview to be used for CPD credits. Please contact your home association for individual guidelines.

How do I download my CPD record?

You can download a PDF file of your CPD record in your profile to claim the CPD points at your home association. The PDF file will include all videos you have watched to at least 90 % completion. You will find your record in your user profile under the title „CPD Documentation.“

Videos that I have watched do not appear on my Watch List.

Most videos on actuview are considered CPD – they can be recognized by the CPD tag in the thumbnail displayed in the listings. However, some videos are promotional and are not tracked for CPD documentation. If you have found a video that is not tagged as CPD although you expect it to qualify as one, don’t hesitate to contact the actuview team at contact@actuview.com.

I have watched a CPD video fully, but it doesn’t appear in my CPD record.

Firstly, when you open several tabs with videos, sometimes tracking may not work. Secondly, please try to clear your cache. We implement new protocols on a regular basis and sometimes old cookies and cache information can prohibit those new routines from working. Furthermore, it is always possible that restrictive firewalls or company VPNs interfere with the tracking. Please try a private network. Lastly, if you have an adblocker, also try setting up an exception for the actuview website to make sure, it is not blocking any cookies that are necessary for tracking the viewing process. While trying these solutions for future watching, we can manually add videos you have already watched fully to your record, so that you don’t lose any CPD time. Please contact us at contact@actuview.com.
