CE/CPD Access, Downloads and Questionnaires troubleshooting

I'm having trouble accessing my questionnaires.

Follow the instructions in the video ‘I’ve just purchased a CPD/CE course – where do I start?

If you still have trouble please try logging out of your account and then logging in again. Contact us as support@evidenceforexercise.com if you require further assistance.

How long do I have to complete my CPD/CE?

We guarantee the validity of our continuing education modules for a period of 3 months after purchase.

You may still complete our online continuing education courses at any time after 3 months, however we cannot guarantee a particular course will be approved for an indefinite period in the future.

Refunds will not be provided if a course is cancelled 3 months (or more) after purchase.

The links to my confirmation email don't work.

Resources are periodically updated. This means links in confirmation emails will expire after a period of time.

In this case, please login to your account to directly access your downloads and/or questionnaires.

I'm having trouble logging in or have lost my password.

  1. Please ensure you are using the correct Username or email address (incorrect spelling of email address is a very common reason for being unable to login).
  2. If you click login and nothing happens, try clicking ‘login’ again. Some browsers seem to require ‘login’ to be clicked twice.
  3. Try typing in your password manually, especially if you have used cut and paste, or allowed your computer to remember your password for you.
  4. Clear your browser cookies/cache/history, and even try a different browser (especially if using Internet Explorer). Aside from an incorrect username, 99% of login problems are caused by browser cache issues, and many of these are with Internet Explorer.

**Note; you will be locked out for 20 minutes after 4 unsuccessful login attempts, and if you try again several times unsuccessfully you may be locked out for 24 hours. This is necessary to prevent hackers and nasty folks from gaining access.

If you can’t remember your password, please use the lost password function and be sure to check your junk mail folder if the reset password email doesn’t arrive in your inbox after 15 minutes.

If the reset email has disappeared into the ether (this is especially common with Hotmail), please contact us and we can reset your password for you.

How do I open a .zip file?

Large bundles of PDF files are supplied as zip files, which you will need to unzip on your computer after downloading.

On a Mac; zip files will unzip automatically on double clicking the file

On a PC; right click and ‘unzip’, ‘expand’, ‘extract’, ‘uncompress’ or similar. If your computer does not give you this option, you may need to download a program like WinZip or WinRAR.  Occasionally Windows may have a problem opening a zip file (especially Windows 8) and you may need to investigate your download file permissions in Windows Manager, or upgrade your operating system.

Free trial versions of WinZip can be downloaded here.

When I try to open the .zip file, it either says it is invalid, or appears to be empty

It is highly likely you are on a Windows computer – note that on Windows, a zip file may not open by double clicking – try to right click the file to ‘extract’, ‘expand’ or ‘unzip’ (or similar).

If you don’t see these options, you may need to use a program such as WinZip or WinRAR. Also, check Windows Manager to see that file download permissions allow zip files (especially Windows 8).

If you still can’t open the zip file and you are about to throw your computer out of the window, please contact us and we’ll send you the zip files via Dropbox. Note however that 99% of the time, this is an issue with Windows and not the zip file itself, and the solution is usually to contact Microsoft support.

Can I access the downloads and questionnaires on my iPad, iPhone or other portable device?

Yes. All resource materials are in PDF format (a universally accessible format) and CPD questionnaires are completed online through your web browser.

However, if your initial download is a large bundle it will be in a zip file and you may need an app on your portable device to unzip the file and access the PDF’s.

For Apple, try: iZip or iFiles

For Windows/Andriod, try: ZArchiver or RootExplorer

Alternatively, you could open the zip file on your computer, and transfer the PDF files to your device or cloud storage to access.

I have completed a CPD/CE questionnaire but not received an email confirmation.

Firstly, please ensure you have clicked the ‘Submit’ button for each completed questionnaire.

Please also ensure the email address you entered on the form is correct (this is a very common cause of notifications not being received).

Allow up to 15 minutes to receive the email confirmation of CPD completion. If it still hasn’t arrived, please check your junk mail, and make sure admin@evidenceforexercise.com is on your safe list.

If your notifications have disappeared into the ether (this is especially common with Hotmail), please contact us. We can easily re-send to you.

Purchasing & Payments troubleshooting

Can I purchase in my own currency?

Yes. The currency will automatically set to your local currency based on your IP location.

If the incorrect currency is displaying, or you wish to change to another currency, simply select the currency from the currency switcher on the right side of the page.

My credit card was declined.

We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express via our preferred payment method, Stripe.

Most declined transactions come from your bank, especially banks in the USA. Your bank’s credit check system may also be temporarily offline. The rejection is not decided by us, unless you have entered incorrect card details.

The first thing you can do is try another card.

Failing that, you can get in touch with your bank to tell them that you approve payments to us.

Alternatively, you can pay using Paypal. You do not need a Paypal account to pay via Paypal with a credit card.

How do I know my payment has been successfully processed?

You will see a confirmation screen with immediate access to the items you have purchased.

If you don’t see a confirmation screen, and don’t receive a confirmation email, your transaction has not been processed.

I have made a purchase but not received an email/invoice.

Firstly, please double-check you entered your email address correctly when creating your account (this is a very common cause of notifications not being received).

Please also check your junk mail, and make sure admin@evidenceforexercise.com is on your safe list.

If your notifications have disappeared into the ether, please contact us.

How do I become a Member to receive 20 free CPD points?

If you’d like to become a Member to receive free CPD points, you must complete your Membership purchase prior to using the CPD/CE credits.

Then, login and click on the CPD credits tab.

What does 'recurring total' in my shopping cart mean?

This is the amount you will pay on renewal of your membership, 12 months after your initial purchase.

You will receive an email reminder 2 weeks before renewal, and you can manage or cancel your membership via your login.
