These courses are run on a cyclical basis with a limited number of seats available per cycle. This allows us to provide better support to learners throughout their learning journey. Once the capacity for a cycle has been reached, learners will be placed on a waiting list and automatically enrolled in the next available cycle, with notification sent by email. We recommend that learners complete the course(s) within one month of their enrolment date. However, once enrolled on a specific course, learners can continue to access it.

You should first complete the OSD Authoring course before embarking on your OSD Leader Responsibilities learning journey. Your username is your email address, and your password is the same one that you use to access the ISO IT tools for standards development. The total duration of the two courses is approximately 4 hours. Please make sure you have the time you need to complete the courses before you enroll yourself.
