ETF courses moved to a new platform

ETF now has a new learning platform. This is part of the ongoing work to improve the digital learning experience. Courses which have been available on FutureLearn are being upgraded and migrated to the new platform with links updated as the courses go live. Our previous learning platform, Foundation Online Learning closed in March 2022. 

This page provides links to the ETF web page where you can find the course details, joining instructions and links to the platform here the course is hosted. Please note some courses are invitation only or require you to provide further information and create an account to gain access.
