The mechanics of CET explained

As a provider of CET I share RH Gray Morris's concerns (Letters, August 5, 2005) regarding internet-only access to the GOC CET scheme run by Vantage Technologies. However, he overestimates the problem because he is confused regarding the mechanics of the scheme. He's not the only one.

Under the compulsory scheme, it is providers, not individuals who have the responsibility for recording CET points. Providers are able to add points to your GOC number even if you have not yet registered at www.cetoptics.com. Individuals are not able to add their own CET points but have the responsibility to check and accept the points in their account.

Anyone who has not already registered at www.cetoptics.com should do so now. There they will find a list of any CET points accrued in 2005. Once registered, individuals need only visit the Vantage website once a year to check and confirm their points tally.

For people who feel they are still unable to complete the registration process, Replay Learning offers a service to register and manage points on behalf of its customers who do not have internet access. To qualify for this service you need to have attended or be booked to attend a Replay Learning conference or be a subscriber to the Virtual Lectures distance learning programme. You can call Replay Learning on 0870 881 0715.
