        • Intrigued as to how to get a little of column B via Unidays, if you are able to share?

          • @smifter: Nah I was just being tongue-in-cheek hopeful that membership might include an email that could be used. Keen to hear from anybody that has figured this out!

  • Very interesting.

  • So I'm guessing the statement of participation once you past the course is a nice to have and can't really be used for say a job interview right?

      Gain a free statement of participation
      On successful completion of our free courses, you will be able to access and download a free statement of participation to use alongside your digital badge (if the course offers one).
      You can print or email the statement of participation to demonstrate your successful completion of a course. It can help show your interest in a subject and a commitment to your career or provide evidence of continuing professional development.
      Please note: Our free courses do not carry any formal credit towards a qualification.
