At Level 6 the project module will include reflection and professional planning. Throughout the course you will reflect on your progress and build on acquired legal and employability skills, evidencing this by the award of digital badges that will act as a record of achievement. Badges may be awarded for the completion of tasks and/or for completion of a self-directed series of activities. Once the tasks have been competed you will be awarded a digital badge that can be shared on portfolio websites such as LinkedIn. You will also be able to share the badges with prospective employers by adding them to a C.V. or job application.
