Earning ESCO credits

How to earn credits

All ESO activities are awarded credits. The general rule is 1 hour of face-to-face learning = 1 credit.
When you take part in an ESO activity (event, course online, fellowship, certificate, etc) the credits you have earned will be automatically added to your profile.
A complete list of credits available per activity is published on the ESO website on the relevant activity page.

You can participate in either a Live or Recorded session and you will need to complete the evaluation questionnaire at the end of viewing in order for the system to register your participation. The system will consider the number of e-ESO certificates that your account has collected.
