Who is Daktari Online for?
Daktari Online serves every cadre of healthcare professional across Africa — doctors, specialists, clinical officers, nurses and midwives, pharmacists, laboratory, dental and allied health workers, students and healthcare managers — from free clinical updates through accredited CPD to professional qualifications.
Are the CPD points recognised by my regulator?
Yes. Our modules are accredited by the relevant regulatory bodies, and the points you earn are reported against your professional profile for use in appraisal and licence renewal.
How long does a module take to complete?
Most single CME activities take under an hour. CME series and short courses run longer, and every module is self-paced — you keep full-time access and can resume wherever you stopped.
What do I need to take a course?
Any browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Content streams on modest connections, and course materials are downloadable where the publisher permits it.
Do I get a certificate?
Every completed accredited module issues a verifiable certificate to your account, which you can download or share, and which anyone can validate against our certificate register.
Can my institution enrol a whole team?
Yes. Hospitals, ministries, universities and employers can enrol their staff in programmes from across the catalogue, with real-time tracking and consolidated reporting on completion and CPD points earned.
Can my organisation publish courses on Daktari Online?
Yes. Universities, professional associations, hospitals, NGOs, industry partners and independent experts can run their own branded academy on Daktari Online to host courses and webinars, assess learners, issue certificates and take payments. Contact our team to get started.
