Finding the course
Hi Cyn96,
Sorry to hear you are having trouble finding 'my portfolio' - the following things have helped some people: Check that you are not logged into your TeachingEnglish account on a different device or browser. Log out of your account on all devices and browsers, and log in again. Then if you see My Portfolio, click or tap 'My courses' from MY PORTFOLIO. You should be taken to your training course. If you still can't access your course, log out, clear the cache on your browser and log in again. Hope that helps!
