Step-by-step guide
Go to your Learning Manager account page and click on the link to Invite and enrol learners.

Once you have clicked that link you will be given different options for inviting your staff to start learning on FutureLearn.
[Image description: A screenshot of the learner invite options. The first option is to invite learners to a short course, then to allocate an Unlimited seat to a learner, and the final option is to enrol Unlimited learners on Unlimited courses]
Allocating an Unlimited seat:
If you use this option you can send an invite via email to one or more learners which allocates them a seat under your Unlimited deal. Once they accept that invite, one seat allocation will be used and they will have access to all of the benefits of Unlimited.
This means that they have access to all of the courses offered in the Unlimited catalogue (over 1400 courses), and when they join any of these courses via Unlimited they will receive unrestricted access to all the course content, including tests. They will also be able to prove their learning progress with a digital Certificate of Achievement issued for each completed course
To issue a seat allocation invite, you will need to pick that option from the invite and enrol learners page options. From there you will be taken to your deal page, once you click into the deal, you will see the number of seats already allocated and how many seats are still available. You can then choose the ‘Allocate seats in this deal’ option to start sending invites to Unlimited to your staff. You can enter one or more email addresses in this box, all entered addresses will be sent an invite to Unlimited under your organisation.

Inviting learners to individual courses under Unlimited
Video guide

Step-by-step guide
For a step-by-step guide to the same process, please read through the below explanation.
Once a learner has accepted their Unlimited invite, they can then also be invited to enrol on individual courses from the Unlimited catalogue.
To use your account to enrol those learners on individual courses from the Unlimited catalogue, select the ‘Enrol Unlimited learners on Unlimited courses’ option from that page, then click Continue. From there you will be taken to the Select courses page, where you can scroll through the course in this catalogue. You can click on any of the course titles to be taken to the course description page for each course. You can also search by course title, and then view the course information from there.
[Image description: a screenshot of the select courses page, with three example courses shown in a list. We can see the title of the course, its duration (how many weeks of content it contains), the recommended weekly study time, the level of the course, and the learner review rating for the course. We can also see on the right-hand side a column titled ‘Actions’ under which there is a button labelled ‘Select’ next to each course listing].
Once you have found a course on which you wish to enrol your Unlimited learner/s, click the Select button for that course. You will then be taken to the Select learners page where you will be shown a list of all the learners who can be enrolled on that course. You can also choose more than one course to enrol the selected learner/s on.
You will be shown a list of the learners who have been allocated, and accepted, an Unlimited seat under your organisation’s account. Click the Select button for any learners you wish to be enrolled on the course/s you have chosen, then click the Continue button.

From there you will be taken to the Summary page, where you can review your enrolment requests before they are completed. Once you have checked those details, please click the Confirm button and the enrolment will be completed. You will then be taken to the ‘Enrolments started’ page which confirms that your enrolment request has been completed, and that you will receive an email to report on the progress of your enrolments.
Please note that there are no restrictions on the number of courses that your Unlimited learners can join on FutureLearn. Your organisation is not charged per course enrolment for the courses your learners join once they have Unlimited, or for any courses that you enrol them on via the above method.
If you are interested in setting up an Unlimited account for your organisation please fill out your details on our contact form, and one of our partnership managers will be in touch to discuss next steps with you.
