Can I use any device?

Yes – the programmes will work on a smartphone, tablet, computer or laptop. Make sure your browser is up to date, for example we recommend using Chrome on a computer, Safari on a Mac or Samsung on a mobile phone. 

Do learners receive certification?

Yes – to receive the Rewrite certificate individuals must complete all sections and complete a short summary quiz with multiple choice and true or false type questions.  The pass rate is 80%, there is no time limit and you can retake the test as many times as you like.

I cannot get my certificate?

Sometimes, if a learner clicks ‘next lesson’ too quickly after completing a quiz, the system does not have enough time to register the score. Therefore a learner cannot get their certificate at the end. If this is the case - go back through each quiz and wait til the score has properly registered before clicking ‘next lesson’. It shouldn’t take you long at all! In the Sustainability 101 course there are 2 short quizzes after Lessons 2 and 4 and then a final quiz after Lesson 6.

I forgot my password?

Yes, you can turn on subtitles by toggling it on and off using the CC button in the play bar for each video.
