How you learn on the platform

You gain new skills and knowledge using learning pathways.

Learning pathways are short videos exploring topics, such as managing money and financial security.

Topics are broken down into a series of short sessions including question-and-answer sections to supportively test and strengthen your learning. But don’t worry – the tests are only designed to help you understand your learning journey; you will not be assessed by anyone else in any way.

Complete the learning pathways at your own pace and earn digital badges. For each badge you earn, you gain five points towards a Spirit of Sussex Award.
