Recognition of under-provision in critical care beds across Aotearoa New Zealand resulted in substantial three-year government funding to increase bed numbers by 2024. This required significant staff recruitment and onboarding. To support this, a 15 month nurse-led project to develop a national eLearning induction programme for Critical Care was funded by Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora. A core project team of critical care nurses and learning designers based at Wellington Regional Hospital developed the programme. An extensive communication strategy was used to engage with critical care units nationally, consulting with cultural and equity experts and service users. 102 orientation documents from critical care areas across the country informed development of the modules. Six week sprint cycles (three weeks writing content, three weeks module build) were used to develop each module. Modules were designed using a multi-media approach and built using Articulate Rise 360© and Storyline©. Three national stakeholder events were held together with monthly e-drop in sessions for feedback on module content. The Elearning Programme (Induction) in Critical Care New Zealand (EPICCNZ) was launched on 22 April 2024. Nine modules were made available to staff through the three national Learning Management Systems. In the first month, there were 1193 module enrolments with positive feedback from module users. Key to the success of EPICCNZ was central funding for dedicated project resource, strong yet flexible project management and design, informed training software selection and motivated, supportive stakeholder engagement. ##Te Reo Māori Translation #Te whakawhanake kōkiri ā-motu ā-ipurangi mō ngā akoranga tuatahi mō te kaimahi hou (EPICCNZ): ētahi ritenga taketake mō te eke o te whakatinana ki te taumata Ngā Ariā Matua Nā te mārama kua kore e whakaritea te rahi e tika ana o ngā moenga tiakinga mate taumaha puta noa i Aotearoa, i hua ake ai ētahi pūtea kāwanatanga rahi hei whakapiki i te maha o aua moenga i te takanga o te tau 2024.
