*As a part of ITL006, I was awarded a badge to certify my commitment to the University of Birmingham Inclusive Educator initiative. It confirms that the badge holder has reflected on the definition and qualities of the UoB Inclusive Educator. They have identified and reflected on an example of their current inclusive practice.

9 Comments

 
On 17th December I passed an exam in PRINCE2® Project Management Foundation Level, run by People Cert, and funded by Midlands4Cities Arts and Humanities Research Council.

​
The PRINCE2® Foundation Certification is suitable for individuals who want to demonstrate they have sufficient understanding of the PRINCE2® methodology and can work effectively as part of a team or with a project management team within a PRINCE2® supporting environment. See my certification below.
​
The course included 15 hours of online learning, 3 days virtual course with a PRINCE2
® Representative, and a PRINCE2® Method workbook and textbook, all of which were completed and revised by the candidate.

This training will support me during the remainder of my PhD and in my future career - be that academia or as a linguistic consultant.
