We’re delighted to officially announce the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association’s Outstanding Learner Award (OLA).
Beginning in June 2026, every month, the CPA Technical team will select one learner who has completed CPA Academy e-courses with distinction, formally recognising their exceptional commitment to our educational resources.
Any learner who completes one of our CPD courses shows a tremendous dedication to improving their knowledge and practice. Through the OLA, we pay tribute to those who go above and beyond in their application to the courses, rewarding their remarkable performance or engagement.
In addition to being formally recognised as recipient of an OLA (which you can put on your CV or LinkedIn profile!), the winner will also receive:
- A professionally-designed, printable certificate, co-signed by the CPA CEO, CPA CPD Programme Manager, and – if you’re a CPA member through your national pharmacy association (NPA) – your NPA President.
- A full-length feature piece on the CPA website, reflecting on your achievement
- Extensive social media coverage of your achievement
- A professionally-designed email footer banner recognising your award
How do I enter?
When you complete a course, you will be automatically entered into contention for that month’s OLA so long as:
- You are still a CPA member, either as an individual or through your NPA
- You have completed at least 3 courses* on the CPA Academy overall
At the beginning of each month, all qualifying candidates will be reviewed by the CPA Academy technical team, and the winner will then be contacted.
We look forward to reviewing all of your efforts. Good luck!
* Excludes Antimicrobials Overview, AMR & Principles of AMS, AMS in Practice, AMS Toolkit, and the Breast Cancer Education Bundle.
