Viva Learning contributes 404 free courses to the directory, the single largest library we track. No single specialty dominates: the largest (General Dentistry) holds only 27% of the list, and 16 areas are represented in all. Format-wise it is a one-hour-webinar library (average 1.0 hr): single credits that fit a lunch break, accumulated steadily.
Certificates are effectively standard: 404 of 404 courses (100%) indicate one, comfortably above the 94% directory average — a low-friction pick for audited records.
It publishes actively — 404 additions reached the directory inside the last three months, the newest on 2026-07-07.

Making the most of Viva Learning
Viva Learning's library leans clearly towards General Dentistry — 28% of its courses sit there — so it rewards being treated as a focused set rather than a grab-bag. A sensible way in: Growth without Compromise: Lessons Learned for Merging Practices While Maintaining a Health-centered Focus (General Dentistry, ~29 hrs), then Stop Freehanding Injection Composite - A Smarter Workflow for Composite Bonding (Restorative, ~29 hrs), then Accelerated Treatment for the Class II Patient (Restorative, ~1 hr). Each link opens the course card here first, so you can favourite it or log it before heading to the provider.
All told there are about 678 hours here; log each course from its card and the tracker keeps the running total against your regulator's target. Every course in this library issues a certificate, so each one can go straight into an audit file.
