Why am I being directed to the National College when I try to log in to People Development? 

All users will now have one account and one login to access all their subscriptions across the People Development (PD) and The National College (TNC) platforms. 

What has changed?

• When you log in to People Development you'll now be redirected to The National College login page. You'll see a banner explaining the changes.
• If you have access to People Development and The National College, you previously you had two separate logins for each platform. Now you only need to log in once using a single set of login details. Your accounts across People Development and The National College will be linked by your email address.

• All users who have both a People Development and a National College subscription who do not use Single Sign-On (SSO) or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) use.
