The Life Tools certificate is recognised in the same way as the RED Award. The aim of the certificate is to provide some structure so that you can maintain your motivation and feel productive by developing habits that support your progress towards your academic and personal goals. 

To obtain the Life Tools certificate, you must:

• Attend 6 webinars/talks. Your department may be offering some of the talks as part of your course. Attending these will count towards the certificate too. To make the most of the programme, begin to apply the knowledge and strategies as soon as you have been to a talk so that you can identify what works for you. Complete a worksheet after each webinar/talk you attend.

• Attend 2 group training sessions. This element of the programme gives you the opportunity to discuss what you have found when applying the knowledge and strategies. There will also be an opportunity for questions and answers. The focus of the discussion will be on identifying what helps or hinders applying what you are learning, as well as having an opportunity to expand on your interest in the topics. Complete a worksheet per group discussion. 

• Write a reflective piece (about 2 sides of A4). The purpose of this exercise is to reflect on what you have learned, your experience of applying the knowledge and strategies in a more consistent manner, and how you plan to take your learning experience into the future.

If you want Life Tools to count towards the Red Award or the Life Tools certificate, please ensure you sign into the webinars with your full name and you university email address.
