What do learners get if they successfully work through Reflecting on Transitions?

My Reflection Log

Users will have recorded their thoughts and plans for their future in their My Reflection Log. This doesn’t have to be completed on a computer – it can be done with pen and paper. What’s useful is to keep all the notes, thinking and reflection in one place, as this becomes a reference for whatever they choose to do next.

This record might help in conversations with careers advisors, potential employers or college staff, or in discussions with social or health services, for example in exploring a work placement or volunteering role. Users should finish the course with an action plan to match their chosen goal, whatever that might be.

Reflecting on Transitions badge

Completing the quizzes in order to gain a Reflecting on Transitions badge is optional. However, we know that recognition for studying and completing online free courses is important to learners. It can be an enjoyable way to consolidate learning as well as a way to prepare for accredited online learning, or to demonstrate the acquisition of transferable skills and competencies to potential employers.

The Reflecting on Transitions badge shows that learners have gained an understanding of the process of reflection and personal planning and have achieved the learning outcomes listed within the course.
