How do I get access to the programme/resources?

You can get access to workability in one of two ways.

1. You can buy the disks from us. These disks come with step-by-step instructions for your trainers on how to use them. Even if they have very few computer skills, they will be able to access the content and print workbooks, etc., by following these clear instructions. The disks provide you with all of the materials you will need to run a training programme, including printable workbooks, trainer's manual, videos, interactive exercises, supporting documents and assessment guidelines.

2. If you have a large group of people that you would like us to train for you, we can arrange to send a trainer to your organisation. The duration of a group training session would be approximately a half a day, depending on the size of the group. Trainers would need to have access to a PC or laptop to benefit from training.

What if I want to run workability at more than one training centre?

 

The workability disks that you purchase from us are subject to an End User Licence Agreement in which you agree to run the disk at one location only and not to copy content either in print or digital format. If you wish to run workability at more than one centre/location, then please contact us for details of our multi-site licence which offers you favourable rates on multiple user licences, tailored to your needs.

 

Is this an accredited programme?

 

The workability programme is accredited by the Open College Network If your training centre is an approved-OCN training centre, you can register your students to receive certification for their work/learning. If you are not already an OCN centre, then you need to contact this awarding body directly to learn how to become an accredited training centre.Note: You do not have to be an accredited OCN training centre to deliver this programme.
