How you can study this course

This course should take you about 1 hour. Each section has a video that is the main focus of your study. Some sections contain activity sheets. These are files for you to download and use outside of the course. We hope they will further help you to reflect on the course material and support you in your career planning.

Digital badge information

By studying this course, you will have the option of gaining a digital badge as a certificate of achievement.

What is a badged course?

Badges recognise the skills and achievements acquired through informal study and are entirely optional. They do not carry any formal credit as they are not subject to the same rigour as formal assessment. The badge is proof that you have studied this course and is a useful means of demonstrating participation and recognising your learning.

Now we will start the course properly, with Section 1.
