Learners do not need to request special considerations to complete our courses. All eLearning is self-paced and assessed through multiple-choice questions. You can retake assessments at any time to achieve the pass score. 

Courses

I was part way through my course/module on the old platform. What should I do?

Log in to your account - Your homepage will show your assigned courses and any progress that's been transferred. 

If you were halfway through a module or standalone course - unfortunately this progress could not be saved. You'll need to start again. 

If you'd completed full modules in Compete Clean+ or Introduction to Clean Sport - your progress has been saved. You can continue from where you left off and access the next module. 

I can’t access a course I’ve already completed

This is correct. We've transferred your completion record and score, but you cannot access the course content again. 

What you'll see: A message saying 'Congratulations you have completed' 

Your progress: Your completion and score have been saved 

Certificates
The certificates look different now

We've updated our certificates on the new Clean Sport Hub platform. 

What's changed: 

  • All certificates now have the same design
  • They include a unique QR code to improve security and prove they're genuine
Is my old certificate still valid?

Yes, if it hasn't expired yet. 

New certificates show the expiry date on them. All courses are valid for 2 years. 

Old certificates are still valid if you downloaded them from the old system and they're less than two years old. 

Need a new certificate? If you've activated your account, you can download a new certificate with the same completion details. 

Do I get a certificate for each module passed?  

No. We've changed how certification works. 

You'll now get one certificate for completing the whole course instead of certificates for individual modules. 

When will I receive it? After you finish all the learning and the feedback survey.

I am a coach, what course should I complete?

If you have registered onto the Clean Sport Hub and selected ‘Coach’ only as your role within sport you will be automatically assigned the Coach Clean course. This course has been developed with specific scenarios and examples that will apply to your role as a coach.   

If you have multiple roles within sport – i.e., an elite coach and a parent of a talented athlete – the courses assigned to your account will be the Coach Clean course and the Introduction to Clean Sport course. Whilst currently there are some aspects of the course that include information on the same anti-doping topics we believe that you will find elements from both courses useful in your role in sport.  

I am a Strength and Conditioning coach, what course should I complete?

Based on your role, UKAD and the UKSCA recommend you complete the Introduction to Clean Sport course. Please select 'Support Personnel' and 'Strength and Conditioning coach' when registering. Unless you are also a coach in another capacity, do not select 'coach' as your role. 

I am an athlete and want to complete eLearning

Compete Clean+ is UKAD’s eLearning course specifically for athletes.  

If you are new to the Clean Sport Hub then please follow the registration process, creating your account and giving you access to Compete Clean+ 

I am an athlete and have already completed the WADA ADeL eLearning. Do I need to complete Compete Clean+ as well?

The ADEL course is aimed at an international audience and does not fully cover certain clean sport topics from a UK athlete perspective. We strongly recommend you complete certain modules of Compete Clean+ to enhance your knowledge. 

Contact cleansporthub@ukad.org.uk with the date you completed ADEL and request to enhance this learning. We will assign the appropriate Compete Clean+ modules to your dashboard. Other modules will remain available if you'd like to refresh your knowledge. 

I am an athlete and have completed an eLearning course set by my National Governing Body (NGB) or International Federation (IF). Do I need to complete Compete Clean+ as well?

We need to review your course content to ensure it covers all relevant clean sport topics from a UK athlete perspective. 

Contact cleansporthub@ukad.org.uk stating which course you completed and when. We will advise which Compete Clean+ modules we recommend you complete. 

Organisation specific
I work for the UK Sport Institute and completing the Introduction to Clean Sport course is a requirement of my employment. What do I need to do/ do I need to do anything on the CSH?

UKAD and UKSI are working together to provide relevant learning on your employer's central learning platform. The Introduction to Clean Sport course is hosted on the UKSI platform. UKSI will notify you how and when to complete the course internally. 

You will also need a Clean Sport Hub account (if you do not already have one). Your course progress will be uploaded to the Clean Sport Hub as a record of completion. You will receive reminders via the Learning Arena until you leave UKSI. 

When you leave UKSI, log onto your Clean Sport Hub account and update your email address. Communication will then come from UKAD, and you can access course updates via the Clean Sport Hub. 

My organisation requires new employees or members to complete the Clean Sport Advisor course. What should we do now?

The Clean Sport Advisor course has been replaced by Introduction to Clean Sport. We strongly recommend you update any job descriptions or policies to reflect this change. 

Update your link to: www.ukad.org.uk/cleansporthub 

You can also refer people to UKAD eLearning | UK Anti-Doping and this FAQ if they have questions. 

I am the Anti-Doping Lead for my organisation. Is Compete Clean+ mandatory for athletes?

Compete Clean+ includes all mandatory topics within the Clean Sport Curriculum and qualifies as an education activity to meet mandatory requirements. The course has a two-year certification, with athletes contacted to complete the next stage of their learning pathway at appropriate touchpoints. 

The course is an option for athletes competing at Major Games under the Clean Games Policy. 

When creating your Education Strategy and Implementation Plan, you identified athlete groups within your Education Pools that must have education. We strongly recommend using this eLearning course as a resource for those athletes who need mandatory education.
