Something better is coming soon - Planned system downtime from 5pm Thursday 26 March
ETF is creating a new digital experience for the FE and skills workforce, bringing together membership, professional development and sector support in one place. To complete this transition, all ETF online systems will be unavailable from 5pm on Thursday 26 March to Wednesday 1 April.
The ETF Booking system will permanently close on Thursday 26 March. From Wednesday 1 April, MyETF will be your single ETF account and professional body platform to book and access all ETF courses, resources, CPD, and events.
If you are booked on a scheduled online or in-person course during this time, it will still go ahead as planned. All the details will have been emailed to you. Once the new platform is live, we’ll email you with simple steps to set-up and personalise your new MyETF account.

Who is this for?
