Introduction to Research Awareness in Social Care

It might be useful to begin by saying what this course is not intended to be. It is not intended to be a research methods programme. Many people who have not studied research before are anxious that they will be confronted by a mass of confusing statistics which they neither feel equipped to understand, nor are particularly interested in.

This anxiety has its origins in a perception of research as something done by boffins in white coats surrounded by 'experiments' and computers churning out statistics which only they are qualified to understand. This course is intended to question this perception by highlighting that research is something we all do in our everyday lives.

Amazing customer service

I purchased a course with them but due to unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to commit to study. I contacted customer support and Edina was very helpful in initiaing a cancel request. Thankyou Edina

A little struggle but all worked out by team

It took a while to get in contact with the right person who handled my issue. She kept me informed and up to date on what was happening. She came through and made sure it was sorted out and let me know as soon as it was done. Thanks Maddie.

Fantastic experience

After doing some research around starting the right course for me, I chose to contact Learn Direct. I used the chat option which wasn’t a ‘chat bot’ for a change it was a ‘real’ person. I luckily contacted with Laura who was absolutely brilliant, incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and genuine. Nothing but praise for her time and guidance. Thank you.
