How do you start?

Learners working individually can just go online and get started by clicking on the Caring Counts in the Workplace [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] website. However, we recommend that each learner creates their own Open University account and formally enrols on the course. By doing so they’ll be able to complete the online course quizzes and gain the digital course badge for successful completion. Having their own Open University account also makes it easier and quicker for them to access additional Open University courses and resources, including careers advice. Instructions on how to create an account and how to enrol on the course are available in the Badges and quizzes section.

Learners will need access to a computer and a printer to save and print their individual activities or their completed Reflection Log at the end of the course.

Learners can start and stop the course as they like. It’s completely flexible and there’s no time limit. Repeat a section, print sections off, photocopy them or project the course from a computer for shared viewing – it’s up to you and the learners completing the course.
